The more we learn about photography, the more we realize that there is more to learn! The following books helped us immensely in the creation of this software. If you are a photography geek, these books should go on your wish list.

The Manual of Photography, Ninth Edition (2003), by Ralph Jacobson, Sidney Ray, Geoffrey Attridge, and Norman Axford, Focal Press, first published 1890

If you really want to learn the science of photography, it doesn’t get better than this book. The discussion of characteristic curves was valuable in understanding what to expect from our measurements of real film. Be forewarned, this book is full of math and chemistry and has nothing to do with creative topics.


The Photographer’s Toning Book,
Tim Rudman, Amphoto Books, 2002

This book inspired us to enhance our colorization feature. When we saw that we couldn’t do some of the beautiful effects in this book, we beefed it up. The test strips in this book really helped a lot in developing this feature.


Light and Film, Life Library of Photography
,
Time Life Books, 1970

Yeah, we thought that Time Life books were lame, too, until we saw this one. The gem in this book is Chapter 2, The Evolution of Film. There you can learn about the laborious early methods of photography. You even get to see a modern (well, 1970) guy use these methods and see what kind of results he gets.
