Picture Editing provides a thorough grounding in the art and discipline of picture editing and picture management. Tom Ang discusses the varied contexts in which picture editing operates, including the thorny subject of image manipulation, and provides a framework for understanding picture editing as a many-stranded and complex task.
This new edition combines detailed descriptions of the techniques and technology involved, with checklists, glossary and exercises to help the student or trainee. It is illustrated with many photographs, including over forty colour photographs in the plate section.
