Editors’ Acknowledgements

We are indebted to the previous editor of The Manual of Photography, our mentor and friend, Ralph Jacobson, for his encouragement to undertake the authorship and editing of the current edition, for his support during its production and his work as the technical editor. We would like to thank him and the other authors from the previous edition, Geoffrey Attridge, Wally Axford, and Sidney Ray, for allowing the use of parts of their text from the ninth edition. We are also grateful that two of these previous authors have continued their contribution in this tenth edition and we thank them and our new co-authors for their valuable input.

Thanks to Peter Burns for his contribution to technical editing; to Robert Hunt, Roy Berns, Mark Fairchild, Phil Green and Andy Finney for allowing the use of data/figures/images from their publications; to John Smith, Simon Brown and Andy Schonfelder for their assistance with research; and to the Focal Press team for supporting this publication.

Lastly, but importantly we would like to thank Olivier, Jason, Anja and our parents.

Elizabeth Allen and Sophie Triantaphillidou
