| If you browse the shelves of your local bookstore, you can find many books about digital photography, including several by yours truly. As a smart consumer, you’re probably wondering what makes this book different from the rest and, more important, how those differences can benefit you.
Well, for one thing, most digital photography books go into more detail than you may want (or need) to know right now. In-depth coverage is great for photography enthusiasts, but if you’re just getting your digital legs, it also can be overwhelming, not to mention time consuming. In addition, most digital photography books don’t say much about all the ways you can use photo software to manipulate your pictures after you get them out of your camera and onto the computer. For help with that aspect of digital imaging, you need another book altogether — especially if you’re interested in working with your old film photos as well as those from your digital camera.
Digital Photo Projects For Dummies, however, gives you the best of both worlds. It gives you the basics you need to get good results from your digital camera, without overloading you with lots of technical background. And when you’re ready to fire up your photo software, you get step-by-step instructions that show you exactly how to retouch and enhance all your pictures, whether they started life in digital or film form. |
