RE: [APML] Photoshop questions

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@astro-photography.com>]

Hello Dale,
I am reviewing Jerry's book on CD and he has a wonderful illustration of
color management profiles and the flow of data throughout a digital
system.  I just can't recommend Jerry's book highly enough.  It answers
about 95% of the questions on APML.  

Best regards,
