Digital Photography! I Didn't Know You Could Do That...

Rating:
Summary: Pretty darn good -- and the software DOES come with it!
Review: I have to disagree with a previous reviewer who said not to buy the book unless you own or plan to buy the same camera and software that the author uses. For one, you don't have to buy the software the author uses because THE SOFTWARE COMES WITH THE BOOK. Yes, free software! And that software is PhotoDeluxe from Adobe -- not a bad place to start! The techniques you learn will get you ready for whatever editing package you want to work with. Furthermore, the book is designed to work for anyone new to digital cameras, regardless of your equipment. It teaches techniques for taking better photos, gives brilliant tips for using your digital camera to do things like comparison shop or document a move, and it shows all the ways you can share your pictures with friends and family. The combination of great information and free software make this book an excellent value.

Summary: This book is GREAT!
Review: I teach a digital photography class! This is the book I'm going to use. It explains in great detail about digital photography, scanning, and imaging using Adobe Photodeluxe. The price of the book is worth the FREE Adobe Photodeluxe. I am also a web designer and I actually use Photodeluxe to manipulate some photos I use on my websites! This book is a must if you're interested in digital cameras, scanning, or imaging!
