This book covers image and video color editing research advances over the last two decades. Bringing readers up to speed on digital image and video editing techniques and research, the book delves into an area that has attracted much attention from researchers due to the rapid development of computer graphics and the widespread prevalence of digital cameras and mobile phones in daily life.

Instead, the book explores image and video editing techniques that are simple and effective alternatives to such editing software that professional and amateur image editors can utilize. The book focuses on color as one of the most important features of an image or video. Image and video color editing aims to dramatically alter source images suitable for a wide range of applications.
