Summary: MARGULIS IS THE MAN ...
Comment: Sometimes you think you can do EVERYTHING using LAB. NO you can't! Only 98%!
And Mr. Margulis gives you exactly the tools you'll need to start to understand about this wonderful world of Lab area of color. Sometimes difficult to follow ... yeap, but, things easy like for example, be a dummy ... run for president and win, everybody is doing! It's depends of YOUR efforts to get it, but HE is the man to tell how.

Summary: Absolutely a must for the serious photographer!
Comment: I just don't know about the low reviews on this book and fully get the high reviews! This is one of those books that comes along once in a while with such valuable information that after reading it, it will leave you feeling crippled in the digital darkroom without using the techniques contained within. The final output of my photos have improved dramatically by using the LAB color workspace and my understanding of the LAB color workspace would be very elementory indeed if not for this book. Understanding and implementing the LAB color workspace is in my opinion a higher level of education, and as such will require putting more effort and thought into mastering it. With this book, Margulis gives you the ability to not only understand LAB, but implement it very effectively and masterfully. Good work Margulis and thanks for writing it!

Summary: Excelente!!!
Comment: Um excelente livro para quem quer se aprofundar no modo LAB para fazer correções de cor. Como diz a chamada da capa: "This book will radically change how we do color correction". Recomendo.

Summary: Great, and it could have been better
Comment: Yes, the use of the LAB space is not so easy to learn, and it has many uses. Margulis shows these uses, but he is not the teacher who will make it easy to learn. Sometimes he dwells on the obvious (it is a great color space), sometimes he jumps over some practical issues.
The fun part is that Mr. Margulis' classes in [...] are really great. So, he definitely knows what he is talking about, but maybe a book is not the ultimate best tool.

Summary: A totally new way of improving your pictures
Comment: A fellow flickr member pointed me toward this title, when I asked him how he got such beautifully, vivid colors. The author is, prior commentaries notwithstanding, a master of words, using them to make a fairly complex and potentially dry subject quite palatable. As I am not an expert in photography or color management, I will most likely not use most of what he lays out in the latter chapters, however, it is not hard to understand, merely hard to keep in working memory. This book certainly does far more toward getting stunning pictures than any 10 volumes of 'Photoshop for ' and is worth the 30+ bucks I paid for it.
