"We have all felt the frustration of wasting time, paper, and effort when our prints or web images don’t match the images we see on our monitors. Fortunately, you’re holding the resource that will help solve these problems. This book guides you through the hardware settings and software steps you’ll need to post professional images and make stunning prints that showcase your artistic vision. In Color Management & Quality Output, Tom P. Ashe, a color expert and gifted teacher, shows you how to color manage your files from input all the way through output, by clearly explaining how color works in our minds, on our monitors and computers, and through our printers."

Tom’s background as a photographer, fine art digital print-maker, and product development specialist for Eastman Kodak, Monaco Systems, and Polaroid, gives him a unique understanding of the aesthetic and technical issues in digital photography today.

This book is part of The Digital Imaging Masters Series, which features cutting-edge information from the most sought-after and qualified professionals and instructors in the photography field. Based on the progressive curriculum of the Masters of Professional Studies in Digital Photography created by Katrin Eismann at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, these books are the next best thing to being in the classroom with the Digital Photography Masters themselves.

SHELLY AU: Adobe Design Achievement Awards

Determination: to make life work even when things all around you has been torn down. ©Shelly Au

Stillness: as China Flag remains. ©Shelly Au

 Shelly Au: "Two Beautiful Daughters: Anger and Courage"

"China's rapid growth is both powerful and stunning, yet fast paced change has also ushered in the destruction of history and communities. Buildings for miles of square blocks are marked with the eight red brush stroke character (Chai) to destroy or take down. "Two Beautiful Daughters" is a meditation on the pain and anger that accompany powerlessness, and the courage and hope it takes to persevere through loss." –Shelly Au

"Shelly Au has been working for an overseas nonprofit Organization for 20 years. He has spent 17 of those years living in various parts of Asia. His experience and ability to make his subjects comfortable have allowed him to capture powerful images among people who are ordinarily suspicious of being photographed."

"While living in Asia, he was drawn to the hearts of its people, and made it his mission to tell their stories through photographs. He has organized benefits in less fortunate communities, for example, photographing residents on white backgrounds and giving the portraits freely to them. In December 2011, he assembled over 90 volunteers from Nanjing to run 4 studios to help build community respect and local news picked up the story."

"While in New York, Shelly received the Paula Rhodes Honors Award when he was working on his Master of Professional Studies in Digital Photography degree at the School of Visual Arts under the chair of Photoshop Hall of Fame Katrin Eismann."

"Currently Shelly is one of three finalist for the 2013 Adobe Design Achievement Award in Photography that will be announced in New York on November 19th, 2013."
