Author: Steve Hullfish

"Color correction has always been a true tradecraft. The only way you learned was by sitting at the feet of a master.
Steve has demystified much of that and given both beginners and professionals a fantastic resource. Reading this is like sitting at the feet of the masters."
— Lucas Wilson, ASSIMILATE, INC.

"...demystifies the technical art of color correction by patiently distilling the wisdom of over a dozen professional colorists down to a skillset any dedicated editor or motion graphics artist can learn."
— Chris Meyer, Founding Partner, CyberMotion; author — Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects, currently in its 4th Edition; After Effects Apprentice

"...great for editors who are tackling their first color-grading job as well as those who do it every day, but want a deeper understanding of how to turn color correction into color enhancement.... Hullfish goes past the 'how-to' so you alsounderstand the 'why'. This book is a must-have for anyone involved in color correction for video."
