Well you already have the best book on practical colour management I
have come across. It's great on areas such as the craft of creating and
validating profiles. It always perplexes me that such important topics
are hardly touched on, if they are mentioned at all, in most practical
colour management books.
There is a newish book by Joshua Weisberg, once the ColorSync product
manager, called "Color Management in Mac OS X". ISBN 0-321-24576-8. It
is part of the Apple Pro Training Series which is certified by Apple.
I'm to early in my reading to give a solid opinion on it.
On the colour science side the book I turn to first is "Principles of
Color Technology", Roy Berns. ISBN 0-471-19459-X. I find it more
accessible and clearly explained, than Hunts textbooks. If you are
interested in bridging the gap between colour science and colour
management and having some understanding of the design of colour
management system, I can't recommend "Digital Color Management", by
Edward Giorgianni and Thomas Madden highly enough. ISBN 0-201-63426-0.
The authors work for Kodak R&D and speak from the experience of working
on practical colour management systems.
With regards courses I can recommend the GATF colour management
conference in December
http://www.gain.net/conference/brochure/index.cfm?ConferenceID=466. The
conference is great for beginners and experts alike and concentrates on
the practicalities of colour management as opposed to the colour
science. I've always got a lot from it. The talks are given by great
consultants like Don Hutcheson, David Hunter and Steve Upton. No snail
oil there, just hard won experience. Although it is obviously a
conference, by picking the appropriate talks and the ability to network
with peers and consultants alike it can be treated as a course of your
making. For example, it's great for beginners to hear from several
people the important of qualification and verification of your system.
All of that said, GATF also do 3 to 5 days courses at their HQ. I have
not done those, but wish I had known about them when I was starting out.
The 5 day course is given by Don Hutcheson and David Hunter, which is
hell of a recommendation in it's own right. I don't know to what extent
the courses are geared to the GATFs heartland of production printing,
but I am sure they would answer any questions you have.
Regards
Steve
