This clear and concise guide is a great resource for beginners and serious amateurs. Well-organized and well written, it covers all aspects of digital photo printing, from selecting equipment, supplies, and software to preserving and presenting photos. Windows and Macintosh users alike will find good information. Rather than focusing upon a single photo-editing program, the author gives general photo editing advice, with examples from a variety of software packages. Confusing issues like camera resolution versus screen resolution versus printer resolution are explained clearly. One shortcoming is that the explanations of how to set levels and apply sharpening to images are too brief and simplified. There are also a few too many illustrations showing equipment and supplies. The author has wisely provided ample cross-referencing between chapters, and has included a number of information-rich tables.

The seller is fine! Timely delivery, accurate representation of the product. So, I give the seller high marks. The book - for reasons that probably have to do with my personality and how I access information as well as the style in which it is written. The information is not as 'user friendly' as I'd hoped. It does hold useful information and as a reference, I"m keeping it. I'm giving high marks but it's not one of my favorite Amazon purchases - thus, I'll hold back on one little blue star. ;-)
