$12.99 Our Price: $11.69 You Save: $1.30 Paperback (August 2000) Microsoft Press Dimensions (in inches): 0.59 x 9.24 x 7.42 dp-scanphoto.jpg Digital Scanning and Photography by Dan Gookin Dan Gookin explains the latest consumer trend in PCs in Digital Scanning and Photography: specifically, how to choose, buy, configure, and use scanners and digital cameras. The book addresses both Microsoft Windows and the Mac OS, and general information (what resolution is) intermingles with specific instructions (how to resize an image in Adobe PhotoDeluxe). The illustrator of this book deserves great praise. The technical drawings, which showcase such details as where you plug cables into a scanner, are razor sharp and almost photo-realistic. Maybe they're ink-enhanced photographs--it's hard to tell; but, in any case, they're far better than the grainy photos that usually populate books that have a hardware angle. Topics covered: * Digital imaging for home and small-office users of scanners and digital cameras * Consumer information on equipment features and pricing * Instructions on hooking up a scanner * Information on alternative image-file formats * Tricks for getting the effects you want by using image-editing software Keywords: Photography: digital photography, cameras, manipulation, montage, retouching, (Photo) - - 12/31/00
