Dan Margulis

Dan Margulis (born 21 December 1951) is an expert on color correction and reproduction of photographs, using Adobe Photoshop or similar software.

His ''Professional Photoshop'' series (first edition 1994, currently in its fifth edition, 2006) is widely viewed as an authoritative work in the field of digital color correction of photographs. His ''Photoshop LAB Color: The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace'' (first edition 2005, second edition 2015) established the usage of L*a*b* as a standard part of the repertory of high-end retouchers. His magazine column, ''Makeready'', which ran from 1993 to 2006, introduced many concepts in color handling that have since become accepted practice in the industry. The column appeared in several publications worldwide. In its later years, it was carried simultaneously by ''Electronic Publishing'' and ''Photoshop User'' magazines in the United States.
