Premium Member Tristan Noelle Posted June 26, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'm not a very technical person, so I'm usually at a loss when terms like RAW, log, gamma and colorspace are thrown around; I don't quite get the full picture. Can anyone recommend books or papers, any good primer, that would help to get a handle these terms? How did you guys learn about this stuff?

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted June 26, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted June 26, 2011 I uhoh, really. Maybe I should write one. Unfortunately I suspect any such book would become out of date very quickly. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I suspect any such book would become out of date very quickly. P Kinda sums up the whole digital camera dilemma really.. Some of the terms mentioned refer to concepts that will remain viable, but right now it seems that until there is a stable, future-proof and reliable system in place (like film is/was) virtually everyone trying to work professionally with this stuff is required to learn a new menu/recording medium/workflow/postpath every few months. I guess revolutions are inherently messy, but I'm looking forward to the time when a marginal improvement doesn't require a complete overhaul. You should write that book anyway Phil - get it out quick and I'm sure people will be willing to buy the revised edition 6 months later.
