===Color images===
Adams was known mostly for his boldly printed, large-format black-and-white images, but he also worked extensively with color.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://ccp.uair.arizona.edu/item/4538 | title = Ansel Adams Photographs | publisher = Center for Creative Photography at University of Arizona Libraries | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100725015928/http://ccp.uair.arizona.edu/item/4538 | archive-date = July 25, 2010 | url-status = dead}}</ref> However, he preferred black-and-white photography, which he believed could be manipulated to produce a wide range of bold, expressive tones, and he felt constricted by the rigidity of the color process.<ref>{{cite magazine | last = Woodward | first = Richard | title = Ansel Adams in Color | magazine = Smithsonian Magazine | url = https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/ansel-adams-in-color-145315674/ | date = November 2009 | access-date = March 3, 2019 | archive-date = July 17, 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180717071016/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/ansel-adams-in-color-145315674/ | url-status = live }}</ref> Most of his color work was done on assignments, and he did not consider his color work to be important or expressive, even explicitly forbidding any posthumous exploitation of his color work.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}}
