About this title

Synopsis

Digital photography is sweeping the country, and it’s easy to see why. You can take pictures of anything, do it quickly, see instantly what you got (or didn’t get), save only the stuff you like, and share your pictures as prints, on the Web, as a slideshow, or even on things like mugs and mousepads. A digital camera and the appropriate software let you

• Take wide-angle or closeup shots, indoors or out
• Know immediately whether you got what you wanted
• Delete shots you don’t like and retake them
• Improve your images on your computer
• Combine images into a montage
• Customize your pictures by adding special visual effects
