Pros: Historical facts/anecdotes about the physical nature of light and the psychological/physiological dimensions of color.Cons: 1) Lack of professional editing. Seems the only editing the text received was using "auto-correct" of a world processing program, leading to inclusion of similar, but wrong words. Examples from a single page (pg. 37) ".. the sky just prior to or after a story has a bluish-gray cast.." "Try arriving well before sunrise if you are shooting dawn scenes because one the sun has crested..." ...for many people (particular people who live in a cold environment..."2) Many ideas do not apply if you shoot in RAW format.3) Often unnecessarily verbose.This book is less technical than books by Bryan Peterson and the the images are not as impressive/treatment of the theme not as artistic as by Brenda Tharp. Both of these authors cover the topics to a sufficient degree, and provide a more enjoyable read. At minimum "Master guide" should have professional editing, better organization of the themes, and higher quality images.
The author may be OK, but whoever typed and proofed the book did a lousy job. 2-3 errors per page is terrible. There are references to pictures that don't exist or which are several pages back! This makes it a difficult read.His approach is rather simplistic, which is good for some readers. I expected more.
I purchased this book based on existing reviews along with several other related books on color printing prior to making archival prints. It was a good read and I digested a considerable amout of useful information, some of which I may never need to use. This book did make me aware of solutions to a few problems I had been experiencing earlier. I plan to read it again soon and may give it five stars at that point.
I agree with the other review about a lack of professional editing. It really interferes when reading and then having to decipher what the author is trying to communicate.
Awesome. Informative. Inspiring. Nuff said!
