Unique in approach, this is the first introduction to digital photography written specifically for beginning photographers. Using a photographer's perspective, it shows users how digital photography relates to traditional photography, how it can improve traditional picture-making, and how it diverges from traditional photography to open up new avenues for creative growth. The volume covers digital imaging, image capture and storage, basic and more advanced editing, digital printing and electronic publishing and more. For amateur and professional photographers.

From the Back Cover

This is truly a useful basic textbook about digital imaging that presents principles and essentials of the medium for photographers. Focusing on the most broadly useful aspects of Photoshop, author Joe Ciaglia demonstrates, with numerous illustrations, how the most important tools work together to make the software a powerful whole.

The choice of topics places a strong emphasis on the photographic qualities of imaging software. Topics in digital imaging are related to similar topics in the traditional basic photography curriculum.

Clarity of presentation is the organizing principle of this book. Features includes:

Complex operations such as scanning, creating composite images, and resampling images are presented as easy-to-follow, illustrated step by step procedures.
An easy-to-use format in which each technique, process, skill or family of software tools is covered on facing pages.
Numerous color illustrations enhance the teaching power of the book. The illustrations were created or chosen to motivate the learner to want to learn the techniques discussed in the text.
Projects are given that are suitable for individuals or whole classes.
