Applied Color Theory
In all your ways acknowledge the masters. Much of my professional inspiration is sourced in the wisdom of Miles Southworth and Dan Margulis. I met Miles during his visit to the Scitex Corp. in Israel in 1999. His book is 'Quality and Productivity In The Graphic Arts' (1989) about how to Improve Quality, Productivity, and Profit in printing. I studied under Dan in an Applied Color Theory course in 2002, his book, 'Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction' is the bible of practical color theory.
