Howard Besser and Jennifer Trant have written a good (and handsome) booklet called "Introduction to Imaging" under the aegis of the Getty Art History Info Program. It covers image capture, compression, access, display devices, networks and much more. It also includes a useful glossary of terms and a (ta dah!) bibliography for further reading.

Does anyone have any recommendations for textbooks or similar sources that cover digital imaging theory and practice? Looking for elements like scanning, digital cameras, color technology (matching, process color, etc.), image manipulation, printing technology (screens, halftones, separations, etc.), monitor technology (calibration, balance, gamma, white points, etc.). The numerous big fat books on Photoshop cover a lot of this ground -- I'm looking for something less specific to a product and more of a generally balanced overview.
