Synopsis

Photographers new to digital cameras will learn the basic terminologies and technologies associated with digital photography in this all-inclusive guide. Starting out with the basics of resolution, digital color, and file formats, this book takes a look at the various types of cameras, and what to look for when buying one, including batteries, memory cards and view finders. Step-by-step, readers are guided through how to shoot the best photos, upload images to a computer, troubleshoot to remove red-eye, crop images, correct problematic exposures, adjust the color, output images, and archive them. Techniques for backing up and safely storing images and tips for creating digital contact sheets to make retrieving images a snap are also provided. Favoring images over text, this format will appeal to visual learners.
