Synopsis

In 2003, digital camera sales should explode following a 35 percent increase in 2002. Here, Rick Sammon covers all the steps in the digital photographic process. Sammon begins with basic advice for those new to photography. Experienced film shooters should enjoy his ample coverage of Photoshop and digital image techniques. And in a bonus section, Sammon offers advanced tips such as taking glamour shots, producing e-books, and setting up a home studio. The book asks questions such as "How do I select a digital camera? How do I store my images? What are the first things I should do when using Photoshop?" Its approach of "learning to see and see to learn" uses pairs of images, software screen shots, and the best photographs from his own vast library. The 107 lessons take the reader through each topic in friendly, concise steps.
