I think the book Understanding color managment by Abhay Sharma is a
better book, and  I have both :-)


About the translation, in Norwegian (it might be close to danish) the
correct word is "Perseptuell". But I think we don't have to translate
all that specific terms. Since most of the written literature  are in
english, I guess most people who use color managment have no problems
with the english terms on the rendering intets. Actually I think at
least in my language that translated word will create a lot of
confusion since the words are very seldom used, and everyone use the
English terms. I guess we can blame photoshop for this.
