Though there are a few expeditions into the peculiarities of specific products (cameras and printers, especially), the authors generally stick to universal principles when explaining what to look for in hardware. Any other approach would quickly be rendered obsolete. When it comes to software, they investigate a variety of products as well, though they stick mainly to the Adobe Photoshop interface (under Windows XP) when they explain how to, for instance, straighten and crop a haphazard picture of a skyline. These instructional sequences, by the way, are nicely illustrated. There are plenty of “work in progress” shots in addition to the “before” and “after” ones. –David Wall
Topics covered: How to choose, use, and enjoy a digital camera. Coverage includes much about general technology, including explanations of pixel resolutions and photo-transfer options, as well as advice on photographic technique (lighting and composition, among others).
