About this title

Synopsis:

The Digital SLR Handbook has been hugely successful thanks to its comprehensive and accessible approach, which makes it easy to absorb the authors many years of professional digital photography experience. This edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the rapid pace of change in the digital sector and includes all the latest equipment and software. It explains, in detail, the relevant new features in Photoshop CS3 and brings together the many tools available to help any photographer keep making the right decisions on the road, in the studio or in post-production. Broad in its scope and unrivalled in its depth, the book is packed with solid advice on every aspect of workflow, including in-camera editing, backup, storage, file management and archiving, as well as explaining the best tools for every conceivable image edit, from digital noise to creating 360˚ QuickTime panoramas. The original book earned its reputation by leaving no stone unturned; this updated edition is equally thorough.

About the Author:

Michael Freeman, professional photographer and best-selling author, was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. In 1971 he made the life-changing decision to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures he came back with, he embarked on a full-time photographic career.

Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the Smithsonian Magazine (for which he has shot more than 40 stories over 30 years), Freeman's reputation as one of the world's leading reportage photographers has been consolidated. Of his many books, which have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, more than 60 titles are on the practice of photography. For this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture.

Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
