FROM THE PUBLISHER

The potential of digital images is enormous: they can be produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional film and then manipulated in nearly infinite ways. They also benefit from great versatility: they can be printed out, used for hard copy publications, inserted into web pages, or emailed to friends and relatives.

Digital Photography In Easy Steps looks at all aspects of digital photography, from choosing a camera to editing images on a computer and outputting them to a printer or online. It explains the terminology of the digital photography world, details the equipment you will need, and looks at various image-editing programs -- with in-depth coverage of image editing techniques. It shows you how to print images in hard copy and share them over the Web.
