Books and resources

[jim_houston]

For a high-level treatment, there are chapters in

10th Edition of https://www.amazon.com/American-Cinematographer-Manual-10TH-Michael/dp/1467568309/ref=pd_cp_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XVCPZMF507554RG4E31A
(paperback also available.)

2nd Edition of https://www.amazon.com/VES-Handbook-Visual-Effects-Procedures/dp/0240825187/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1487202256&sr=1-1&keywords=VFX+Handbook

an expensive option is the technical textbook,
Color Management Textbook

which has some references relative to ACES (and the background color science) but the info can be found elsewhere. (or check the library)

and generally, all of the details are at

There are other sources on the net too, but this is a starting point.
