Review:

I was both surprised and intrigued by [the author’s] use of beautiful and historically significant artistic imagery for illustrations throughout the book. ... In example after example, Hunt demonstrates how effective such imagery can be in illuminating the principles that he is trying to convey. ... this book does an excellent job of covering much of colour theory, with clear descriptions and effective diagrams and illustrations ... this book has an excellent structure, hitting most of the subjects inherent in the handling of digital images within a computer graphics context. ... I would highly recommend The Art of Image Processing with Java to anyone wishing to obtain a broad and practical knowledge of the science of handling digital images. ... I would recommend this book to any computer science faculty member desiring to create a second graphics course that could be introduced at the sophomore or junior level, prior to the 3-D computer graphics course.
