Digital photography and computer technology can seem a very daunting prospect-and few instructional guides (apart from confusing software manuals) have been published especially for the beginning user. The Desktop Photographer cuts through the maze of technology and computerese, offering newcomers to digital photography clear views of popular hardware and software packages as well as several creative digital techniques. As computer technology falls in price, many people can now afford top-quality equipment but don't yet have the expertise to run them. The Desktop Photographer solves this problem with concise overviews of common digital photography hardware, as well as discussions on today's most popular software packages (including Microsoft PhotoPaint, Jasc PaintShop Pro, and Adobe Photoshop). This comprehensive guide is packed with dozens of easy-to-follow tips and tested techniques for taking better digital photos and enhancing ordinary ones-including mixing, merging, creating montages, adding color, using filters, and much more. Plus, it also features special sections on preparing photographs for the Internet and publishing your own web gallery. For anyone interested in digital photography, web design and computer imagery, The Desktop Photographer is your expert, one-stop information source.
