The latest (and sadly probably the last) edition of Dan Margulis' bible on color correction is now shipping. I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon and paid full price ($59.95 US) but I hear you can obtain cheaper prices from Borders or directly from PeachPit Press.
I don't intend for this to be an advertisement for the book. I am a big fan of Dan Margulis and his color correction knowledge is way above any other writers that I have found. Curvemeister is also acknowledged in PP5 as a great tool for color correction (according to Dan's forum), but I haven't received my copy yet.
If you really want to dig to the roots of Photoshop channels and color correction, this book will be a frequent reference for years to come. If you aren't into some serious study and hands-on self training, save your $60. This is what Curvemeister is all about, ultimately.
