Author Description

Digital photography, which transfers traditional film and darkroom techniques to the desktop computer, offers new possibilities that are changing our entire approach to taking pictures. In his new book, expert Simon Joinson, author of the highly successful Digital Photography Handbook, presents a series of step-by-step creative digital imaging projects -- from basic through intermediate to advanced -- all fully illustrated with color photos and screen shots. The projects, which follow an introduction to Photoshop and other leading software, range from simple photo-correction and retouching techniques to exciting special effects and applications. However you capture digital images -- digital camera, scanner, internet download, or mini DV camcorder -- this book is the key to turning out great finished artwork on PC or Mac. Written by an expert in clear, accessible language, The Digital Photography Workbook is an outstanding project-by-project guide to the creative and practical applications of the filmless camera and the computer darkroom.
