In Defense...

I wanted to write in defense of this book, which some people have been disappointed in, according to other reviews. I admit that the title is misleading, and that's probably the fault of the publisher, rather than the author.I'm a traditional (35 mill) photographer who was thrilled to find a book like this. I was looking for something that would teach me how to convert my old pictures to a digital medium, and Ang's book has all the answers, as well as lots of inspiring ideas. I hope people won't be put off by the other reviews, because, for those of us who still use film but who want to enter the digital age, this is a fantastic book and a great find.

Vital for beginners and advanced digital workers alike!

Tom's lucid, elegant prose explains the most complicated concepts painlessly and interestingly. Beautifully illustrated with the author's remarkable photographs, this book is comprehensive, witty, and an invaluable reference work for beginners and advanced digital artists alike. It also inspires with a selection of the work of Sandy Gardner.
