These days, nobody really needs to learn everything there is to know about taking, managing, and manipulating digital images. And even if you did, who has the time to endlessly tinker and play with it until you figure everything out?
You just want a book that will quickly show you how to get things done - things that aren't already covered in the docs, and things you can?t just figure out on your own.
Digital Photography with Photoshop Album in a Snap is designed specifically for today's computer user:
Somebody who is new to digital photography and image editing and management, but not new to computers.
Somebody who doesn't have time for long-winded, mind-numbing explanations - and certainly no time or patience for bad jokes.
Organized into a series of well-organized, bite-sized, quickly accomplished tasks, this book lets the reader zero right in on the one particular task he or she wants to accomplish, quickly figure out what to do, do it, and then get back to work.
