5.0 out of 5 stars BEST of the lot, tried them all, Al T, Daytona Beach, July 27, 2000

By	Albert S. Torizzo (Daytona Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Entered this wonderful Digital Photo realm a few months ago, got a good camera, scanner, and upgraded the computer, Must say, I tried several dummy/idiot books and found that I am neither, then got the "Digital Camera Solutions" book and off I went. This is a book written for real humans. The author is literate on the subject, the progression of topics is the way it should be, and it is loaded with color photos. The many photos really helped me. And, there is a continuing description of the various editing softwares (and filters) relative to the topic being discussed. There are so many "softwares" on the market, this truly assisted me. Bottom line, Georges knows his stuff, did his homework, and made a most literate contribution for those from beginner, to intermediate, to even the advanced user. And it is done, in a most realistic, easy to learn from, approach to Digital Photography, the title says it all......

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent choice for beginners!, April 17, 2000

By A Customer

I am new to digital photography and I read this book from cover to cover. Mr. Georges takes the reader through some basics of photography with ten traditional techniques of taking better pictures. He then discusses the points that are unique to digital images such as, file size, image compression, and more. My favorite chapter is chapter 6, Performing Digital Imaging Magic. Being able to manipulate images is the reason to go digital! In this chapter Mr. Georges shows some of the unique and fun techniques of turning ordinary photographs into wonderful images, even art. I found the color photographs inspiring, and there are few pages without at least one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Beginners, June 11, 2000

By	Shayne Bowman "hypergenesb" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book should be called Digital Imaging Solutions, because it goes beyond the camera to thoroughly cover other digital processes, such as scanning, touch up work, storage and sharing. This book is PC-centric (not cross-platform as billed) and is ideal for users beginner to intermediate. The digitally uninitiated professional would also benefit.
