This review is from: Into Your Digital Darkroom Step by Step (Paperback)

I was struck by the title of this book. Yet the title is quite apt.

In traditional film work, a lot of the magic takes place in the dark room where cropping, dodging and other techniques can be used to create the effects needed. In digital photography these effects are created in the computer by directly manipulating the digital image. ==This book is a introductory level, step by step guide to fixing common problems found in digital photographs. The terminology used in digital photography is filed with terms unfamiliar to the beginning user. Here various effects are clearly illustrated, one by one to show what each does under controlled circumstances.
