The Digital Photographer's Handbook:
Special Effects Retouching and Restoration

Publisher: Rotovision 2003

Answering the question: "why digital?", this title addresses the advantages of digital versus traditional photography. It examines the breadth of special effects and manipulations acheivable using digital technology.

The project-driven book aims to show all the processes visually and simply, allowing the digital photographer to follow the manipulations step by step with jargon-free text.

Images are dealt with in four logical sections: "shoot it", "scan it", manipulate it" and "print it". The guide also features real-life projects, illustrating how to use digital technology to its fullest capacity.
