Accurate Color, Your Complete Guide to Producing Accurate Digital ColorImages

Welcome to the Accurate Color web site. This is a companion site to the illustrated audiobook of the same title soon to be released. This site is where the book gets personal. Through this site I am providing a sneak chapter-by-chapter preview of what the book covers.

in this audiobook presentation, a newway of communicating is being pioneered. The book will not be published in the traditional "printed" fashion. Instead, the entire 550-page book has been retooled as one of the publishing industry's first fully-illustrated audiobooks. In effect, the book has evolved into an extensive documentary. The format of the movie is H.264, HDTV 720p, which will play well on any HD monitor.

Getting color right has been the quest of artists throughout the ages. Why is it so difficult to produce accurate color? Isn't there a sure-fire way to produce accurete color? Why doesn't the color on the printed page look the same as the color on your computer's monitor? Why do pictures printed on one type of paper look different than they do on another?

These are good questions and they deserve good answers, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in the pages of Accurate Color. This book will give you the answers you need to produce great color– every time you print. Explore this site and preview what this comprehensive, but easy-to-read book offers.
