Hi All,
Don't believe the title of "the Art and Science of Digital
Compositing" - I read that to mean it talks more on the aesthetic
components and what makes an image pleasing/believable to the human
eye. The book is almost entirely the science and mostly describes the
math behind the various operations, file and video formats.
Cheers,
Alan.
