Description
The digital revolution has added a myriad of possibilities for artistic and creative interpretation and, with no need for darkrooms and chemical processing, printing a black-and-white photograph could hardly be easier. Structured around the three main areas of shooting the image, enhancing the image and enjoying the image, the Digital Photography series makes the world of digital imaging simple while concentrating on the photographic aspect. With the aid of inspirational images we are shown in easy steps how the image was taken, manipulated on the computer and output in the desired form.
