SUMMARY
Steve is Founder and Principal of Acolyte
Color Research, a firm specializing in Digital Color Imaging Science.
He also served 10 years as a member of the graduate faculty of the
School of Printing Management and
Sciences at RIT, where he taught courses in image reproduction theory,
ink and paper science, research methods, and color measurement. Professor
Viggiano was a multiple nominee for RIT's Eisenhart Award for Excellence in
Teaching.
Before founding Acolyte, Steve had over 14 years' professional experience in
Digital Color Imaging Science at RIT Research Corporation.
Recent Projects, Research Interests, and Areas of Expertise include:
- Colorimetric Calibration and Characterization of Color Hardcopy and Capture Devices
- Device Independent Color and Color Management
- Tone and Color Reproduction Analysis
- Colorant Mixture Formulation
- Digital Halftoning, including Multi-Level
