Product Description: Photography has entered the digital zone, creating an exciting new approach to image-making for professionals, artists and hobbyists alike. A clear, jargon-free approach to the subject, the Digital Photography Handbook gives readers a working understanding of the equipment, software and techniques they need to take advantage of this versatile medium. More than 50 creative techniques are explained step by step, including: basic adjustments to the image such as correcting contrast, removing red-eye and flipping the image; advanced special effects such as transparency effects, blur techniques and creating duotones; and how to use Photoshop, Freehand and other software and plug-ins in conjunction with digital photos.
