Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... Excellent Book - Comprehensive, and Easy to Follow December 21, 2007 John C. Dean (Atlanta Georgia USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book does live up to its title in my opinion. The illustrations are very well organized with the text, moving from simple to more complex. All digital imaging technologies become altered by sucessive innovations, but this kind of text lays down a foundation for you to proceed into the future. Amadou doesn't give detailed workflows for every ink, media, and printer out there for the simple reason that the rate in which ALL of these inksets, rips, and printers are changing would made such an endeavor impossible, and certainly out of date by the time of publishing. That is the fault of our era not the fault of the author. I agree with the other poster who stated that Amadou's book is equally useful for many color imaging concepts. In a way it is the foundation for them. For someone venturing into this territory for the first time it lets you know who the players are in monochrome inkjet imaging, and where the technology has been in the recent past, and where the information will be available in the future. John Mastering Digital B&W November 6, 2007 Bruce Colbert (Prescott, AZ) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful Very good book but extremely technical. Not a quick read but is chock-full of useful and practical information. Recommend it as a good addition to your personal reference library. Laying it all out in Black and White August 4, 2007 FredM (New York) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful Good photography transcends whether the image was captured in full color or black-and-white, and Amadou Diallo recognizes that fact in presenting this excellent guidebook for imaging in monochrome. Virtually everything in this book has applications in color photography as well, whether it's the description of proper calibration to the invaluable tips on tonality. If you aspire to be a better photographer, this book is a good place to start. You'll find that after you've mastered black-and-white image capture and output, you'll be well on the road to mastery of all aspects of good photography. Recommended. High Quality Black-and-White July 28, 2007 Onno Schroder (netherlands) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Extremely useful for any serious photographer interested in printing in high quality black and white. Amadou's book July 9, 2007 M. Prestie 5 out of 8 found this review helpful Very good overview and very timely. The samples of solutions available in the marletplace are up to date for 2007.
