Tired of snapshots of the kids and the dog? Here are hundreds of ways you can take advantage of graphic software, or hardware such as digital cameras, scanners, color and photo printers. This book fills you in on the background, talking about how pictures go electronic, and how they can be displayed on the Web, printed, or emailed to your friends. But most of the book describes projects you can carry out, no matter what software or hardware you have. At home, you can use digital images as greeting cards, party decorations, labels for collections, reminders on the refrigerator, genealogy diagrams, family newsletters, and plans for your garden or yard. If you teach, digital images can liven up math, language, social studies, and classroom chores. In business, you can make your newsletters, ads, posters a lot more graphic. And if you work as a volunteer, you can celebrate your team, your work, or your neighborhood with full-color banners, flyers, and handouts. This book is an official HP guide, but the marketing is soft-sell. Sure, they'd like you to buy HP gear, but the book is designed so you can use any hardware or software to explore these projects. As authors, we had a ball! And if you're just getting into using a digital camera, scanner, or color printer, we think you will enjoy electronic imaging as much as we did. We're seeing the ability to manipulate imagery on the computer move from the professional world to the world the rest of us live in. Now that the software and hardware has been sanded and polished for more than a dozen years, your grandma can do most of these projects!
