Looking for a friendly, comprehensive primer on digital
cameras that assumes you know next to nil about digital
photography, yet manages not to treat you like a dummy?
Look no further. In The Little Digital Camera Book, authors
Cynthia Baron and Dan Peck help you go digital by providing
a no-nonsense, jargon-free introduction to shooting,
enhancing and sharing images from a digital camera.
The Little Digital Camera Book covers everything
nonprofessional photographers need to know about purchasing
the right digital camera, how to get the best image that
the camera and image-editing software can provide, and how
to share those images in print, email, and on the Web, as
well as how to turn your photos into cards, calendars, and
other projects.
Baron and Peck begin with an easy, conversational
explanation of what digital photography is and how it
works. Then they discuss how to choose the right hardware,
including cameras, accessories, and printers, and how to
use some of the most common features found on digital
cameras. Finally, they discuss how to use image-editing
software to fix typical problems such as red eye, cropping,
and color correction, and the different options out there
for sharing digital images.
Reading The Little Digital Camera Book is like having a
friend at your side to answer all your questions--you'll be
teaching everyone else you know the ins and outs of digital
photography in no time!
