Only for the fussy people.
I am having a real hard time getting good quality, accurate prints from some of my more colourful images. Has anyone read 'Real World Colour Management by Bruce Fraser ? Would you recommend it ? Anything else you'd recommend for a professional quality workflow ?

I'd recommend it, but based on your previous posts I'd hazard to guess it will only be of additional nominal value to you; still, it's useful as a reference. If you do pick it up/read it, I'd certainly like to hear how it affects your workflow.
Workflow: develop relationship with local, professional, knowledgeable lab. People have that completely unpredictable impact on your workflow, so getting to know them will likely help in the long run. |

I'm not an expert on colour management, I just play one on TV...
I might flick through it at the book shop and see how it looks.

Not planning on doing chapter by chapter updates, but the first couple are good. Never paid enough attention to how dramatically the monitor colour temp you were shooting for made to even a correct calibration.
So far nothing that I hadn't vaguely grasped before, but it is good to have it all so well laid out. The colour science I've been taught before but it is good to have it translated into meaningful terms. (the whole 'real world' aspect of the book)
So far it's up there with the Caponigro book, Photoshop masterclass in getting to the underlying ideas rather than teaching the superficial software buttons or the details of the science.
