Using step-by-step examples and case studies the author shows you exactly how to produce a specific image or effect.

If you are a professional or an advanced amateur photographer, Digital Imaging will show how you can take advantage of the new imaging technology and have fun in the process. Joe Farace, the author says: I wrote "Digital Imaging; Tips, Tools, and Techniques for Photographers" for those readers of my previous "The Photographer's Digital Studio" that wanted to get more in depth about image manipulation. In this book, and CD-ROM, I try to share some of my favorite software tools--including applications and plug-ins--that make digital imaging fun. My emphasis is finding the tool or technique that will accomplish a given effect with the least amount of effort and time. I have skipped over the "hard ways" to accomplish techniques and focused on simple ways to produce the same effects. There's more to the book than just image manipulation. The section on output, includes a look at producing fine art prints using service bureaus featuring the IRIS ink-jet printer. You'll also find tips on how to submit your images to the service bureau in order to produce the results you want. If, on the other hand, you want to create fine art prints on your desktop, you will find information on using inexpesnive ink-jet printers and fine art paper to produce "digital watercolors." The book contains information for commercial photographers too. A People magazine photographer explains how he creates customized portfolios using both analog and digital techniques. The book includes a glossary of terms as well as contact information for all of the companies whose products are mentioned.
