Basic Photographic Materials and Processes outlines the three crucial components to creating the perfect photograph: capture, processing and output, and provides a thorough technical investigation of modern, applied photographic technology.

This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include digital image capture, processing and output. It covers a wide range of topics including: the scientific principles of measuring and recording light, the inner workings of digital cameras, image processing concepts, color management and photographic output to both screen and print media. With these topics come in-depth discussions of extending dynamic range, image histograms, camera characterization, display capabilities, printer and paper technologies as well as proof of concept sections that provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the material through hands-on experiments, exercises and demonstrations, connecting theoretical concepts to real-world use.

This comprehensive text provides photography students, educators and working professionals with the technical knowledge required to successfully create images and manage digital photographic assets. It is an essential resource for mastering the technical craft of photography.

"As photo-based artist and educator who is always asking how and why something works, this is the book I grab to answer many of those questions. The authors have done an amazing job explaining the science of photography in a very approachable manner. It is the book I recommend to all my students when they ask me any scientific question I cannot answer."
