Reviews
Excellent book for beginners or near-beginners in digital photography. The author goes into great detail about how digital cameras work. It can get a bit overwhelming at times but just keep reading. He then spends time explaining post-processing of photos. This was the area I was looking for. I am pleased with his coverage of post-processing even though I don't use the Photoshop programs he recommends.I'm using Corel PaintShop Pro and was able to translate most of what he discusses without much problem.It may take more than one reading of a chapter to really understand what is being said. I suspect I will continue to reread sections as a refresher.If you buy the paper version from Amazon, you can get the Kindle version for $2.99. Ended up being cheaper than buying the Kindle version alone.The only complaints I have:The pictures in the Kindle version are a bit difficult to see even when you expand them.In the book some of the screen prints are difficult to read because there is not enough contrast in the darker sections of the screen.
