Professional Digital Photography: Techniques for Lighting, Shooting, and Image Editing

Going beyond a basic introduction to digital equipment, this book teaches photographers how to achieve high-quality, professional results with digital equipment and the application of traditional photographic techniques. It serves as a sourcebook for professionals who are ready to complement their traditional images with digital imaging techniques. Explained are how color balancing can be altered with a dial on a camera; how to effectively light subjects for digital capture; and how to enhance, highlight, shadow, and sharpen fuzzy images. Whether working with a Mac or PC, photographers will learn to use the tools in Photoshop to fully realize their artistic and professional potential.
