The Book of Digital Photography is a comprehensive, authoritative and inspirational guide to every aspect of modern picture taking. Combining the technical with the aesthetic, it covers in detail all the new equipment and digital-imaging tools with which today’s photographers must be familiar, and takes a fresh look at the creative processes and skills required to shoot, and post-process, stunning images.
This book is split into three main sections, examining the three key stages in the digital imaging process. It begins with Capture-with the cameras, accessories, and scanners that produce the raw image, and the techniques needed to make the most out of them. Then, we move on to Manipulation-and look at the ways in which computer programs can further improve and develop the images hat you have captured. Finally, we take a close look at Output and Storage-the different ways in which you can use the digital image, from producing successful hard-copy images through to producing your own web-based photo albums.
