        The book you want is Bruce Fraser's & Dave Blatner's
"Real World Photoshop 6" ... very readable and in depth
coverage of color spaces and color correction.

        I have no experience with this one.

        Martin Evening is very readable, lots of good technique, but doesn't
go as far as "RW PS6" for explaining color spaces and color
adjustment.

> "Professional Photoshop 6: The Classic Guide to Color Correction"

        Dan Margulis isn't as readable, but this would be your reference for
corrections and adjustments in a CMYK working space (not RGB!!!)
