The Reproduction of Colour / Wiley-IS&T Series in Imaging Science and Technology (PDF)

Increasing use of digital signals for transmitting data in
television, photography and printing means the reproduction of
pictorial colour in the 21st century continues to drive
innovation in its development.

Hunt's classic text The Reproduction of Colour has
been fully revised and updated for the sixth edition to provide a
comprehensive introduction to colour imaging and colour
reproduction. New illustrations, diagrams and photographs ensure
that both students and practising engineers using colour images can
gain a full understanding of the theory and practical applications
behind the phenomena they encounter.

Key features:

* Describes the fundamental principles of colour reproduction for
photography, television, printing and electronic imaging.

* Provides detailed coverage of the physics of light and the
property of colorants.

* Includes new chapters on digital printing and digital imaging,
which discuss colour reproduction on HDTV and desktop
publishing.

* Presents expanded coverage of the evaluation of colour
appearance.

The Reproduction of Colour is already used as a basis for
lectures in universities and specialist institutions and continues
to be an essential resource for scientists, engineers and
developers needing to appreciate the technologies of colour
perception.

Reviews of the Fifth Edition:

"The book is beautifully written and superbly presented. It is a
credit to both author and publisher, and deserves to be on the
shelves of anyone who has any concern with the reproduction of
colour."

From The Journal of Photographic Science, Vol. 43
1995

"Using his ability as a teacher, Dr Hunt has made potentially
very difficult topics quite readable...he brings the insight
that leads the reader to a greater depth of understanding."

The Society for Imaging Science and Technology is an
international society that aims to advance the science and
practices of image assessment. A major objective of the
Wiley-IS&T series will be to explain the latest scientific and
technological developments in the field of imaging at a
professional level. The broad scope of the series will focus on
imaging in all its aspects, with particular emphasis on digital
printing, electronic imaging, photofinishing, image preservation,
image assessment, image archiving, pre-press technologies and
hybrid imaging systems.
