Lindsay MacDonald is Professor of Multimedia Imaging at the Colour & Imaging Institute, University of Derby. For 18 years he was with Crosfield Electronics Ltd, where he designed and wrote the software for the world's first computer-based page composition system in 1977. Professor MacDonald is a Fellow of the British Computer Society, the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the Royal Photographic Society, and the Royal Society of Arts. He is co-author or co-editor of a number of books, including Computer Generated Colour, Display Systems: Design and Applications, Colour Imaging: Vision and Technology and Colour Image Science: Exploiting Digital Media. M. Ronnier Luo is a Global Expertise Professor at the College of Optical Science and Technology, Zhejiang University in China, and a Visiting Professor of Colour Science and Imaging at the University of Leeds - UK - and the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Chinese Taipei. He is also the CIE Vice-President of Publication. He received his PhD in 1986 at the University of Bradford in the field of colour science. He has published 600 publications in the areas of colour science, imaging science and LED illumination.

"...this book is both pleasant and essential reading, and an invaluable reference source for the future." (Coloration Technology, Issue 3, 2003)
