Customer Reviews

Good Introduction, Great if you use Shutterfly

This book really has three parts. The first part is on taking pictures. This doesn't talk about how to use your camera, that comes with the instructions supplied with the camera. Instead it talks about things like framing the image, setting the exposure, and things like that. If you're an experienced film photographer, this is probably repeat information. But if you're new to photography and this will give you a basic grounding. The second part talks about manipulating the images in your computer. Their software of choice is to use Paint Shop Pro. This is a good choice for the beginner because most books like this use Photoshop which costs a fortune and is quite complex. Finally it goes into printing. Obviously since this is the Shutterfly Guide, it talks a bit about using Shutterfly to do your printing. If you want to use them, this is an excellent book. If you want to do your own, there is still a good bit of information about printing the images yourself. All in all, a good introductory book on digital photos.
