Product Description
Over 1,000 images teach shooting and Photoshop techniques in easy lessons for anyone wanting expert advice on digital photography. In 2003, digital camera sales will explode following a 35 percent increase in 2002. Rick Sammon, one of North America's most widely read photocolumnists, covers all the steps in the digital photographic process. Sammon begins with basic advice for those new to photography. Experienced film shooters will enjoy Sammon's ample coverage of Photoshop and digital image techniques. And in a bonus section, Sammon offers advanced tips such as taking glamour shots, producing e-books, and setting up a home studio. Sammon answers questions such as "How do I select a digital camera? How do I store my images? What are the first things I should do when using Photoshop?" Sammon's approach of "learning to see and seeing to learn" uses pairs of images, software screen shots, and the best photographs from his own vast library. The 107 lessons take the reader through each topic in friendly, concise steps. Includes a CD-ROM with "The Camera Looks Both Ways," a mini-course in photography. 1008 color illustrations.

 Well worth the purchase September 28, 2008
I had been using a friends book and found it to be so good I decided to purchase one myself. If covers everything I need or want to know in a very easy to follow way. I would recommend this book to anyone dealing with photoshop.

If you really want to improve your work from taking snap shots to creating high quality photographic images, you have to read this book! Absolutely the best book on photography I have ever read!

 Complete Guide to Digital Photography - my opinion January 30, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
While I like this book, and it does include a ton of useful information on various aspects of digital photography, I also have some criticisms. First, if you are not using Photoshop (CTS or Elements), this book will be of little value to you. Two-thirds (2/3) of the book is focused on techniques using Photoshop. Second, I am not a fan of the "every section is a short lesson or tutorial" approach. This often does not allow for in depth coverage of specific topics and can make it difficult to find specific topics. Finally, the CD/ROM included with the book is supposed to be a Tutorial, but is really a PowerPoint of selected chapters + some additional resources. It does not include photographs that are included in the book with before/after focus, which would be better. Overall, I think this book is good for someone who is making the transition from film to digital and/or someone who owns Photoshop and wants to learn more about how to use it.
