Re: filmscanners: Book on Image Editing/Colour Correction

I have to disagree on one point - Dan Margulis is one to read on RGB as well
as CMYK and, importantly, LAB.  Yes, he primarily works in CMYK but his
instruction applies to RGB as well.

| "Real World Photoshop 6" ... very readable and in depth

| Dan Margulis isn't as readable, but this would be your reference for
