'Creative Digital Photography' is the essential guide to image manipulation, providing a complete resource for both the beginner and the enthusiast. Image manipulation applications are, by their nature, extensive and can be baffling, even for the moderately experienced user. Clear and accessible, this book cuts through the jargon to show that compelling images and great effects can be achieved simply, and are within anybody's grasp.
Highly practical with a results-orientated approach, the book explores image creation from both a photographic and an artistic point of view. The process is examined holistically - all the components, including the original image, the software tools and the user's skill and creativity, are considered and seen to contribute to the end result. Methods and effects are shown in the context of producing exemplary results, and creative solutions are presented for typical imaging problems.
