Customer Reviews & Comments
This book delivers on the promises made on it's back cover. It is well-written, well-organized, with up-to-date information. It's greatest strength comes from the "insider's view" it gives of professional digital photography. Readers who are not professionals can easily skip the extra information about goals such as selling photographs through the web. I read the book cover to cover, so I was sometimes annoyed when some points were repeated - but this is of course an asset for the reader who uses the book as a reference, who needs to get needed information from a given chapter, without undue cross-referencing between chapters. I would have liked more information on best practices for common image editing problems like altering exposure or color balance. Lots of well-reproduced color photographs - with interesting content as well.
