Capturing the Images

A beginner's guide to digital photography. Capturing the image is the first step in the digital imaging process and the author explains in jargon-free text everything the reader needs to know in order to get started - the software available and how to use it, the significance of image resolution and how to measure it, the types of scanners, cameras and film that are available and how to choose the right equipment. There are sections on how to maximise the camera's capabilities, image storage and retrieval and using email and the Internet. Other titles in the "Digital Imaging" series examine manipulating images, printing them and presenting them effectively.
