I stumbled across Michael Freeman’s book while browsing for a copy of Tom Ang’s “Digital Photographer’s Handbook” to give to my mom for Christmas. It looked interested enough in the store that I couldn’t resist buying it.
So far I’ve only read about the first twenty pages. I tried to dive right in and use some of the techniques described, but discovered the accessible language hides the complexity of the topic very well. I’ll have to read it more carefully, then go back and explore the techniques Mr. Freeman describes.
I thought of making a post about it because I had just tried Adobe’s Lightroom, and was especially attracted to its color mixing features: in addition to your normal red, green, and blue, it lets you modify cyan, blue, and magenta. All six of these colors are available in the Grayscale Mixer, as well as in Hue, Saturation, and Luminance “tuners” for color photos.
Does anyone know of another tool that provides all six of color channels?
