  • Buy it used. You won't be sorry!

    For a photographer that's new to digital photography, this is an exciting book. It contains snipets of information about a very wide variety of topics. It introduces ideas and provides a quick "how to" about the subject. The problem I have with the book is that it provides these instruction techniques primarily for Photoshop. It's a great product but it's expensive. Still, I rated the book 5 stars because with some effort a anyone can find alternatives to Photoshop and still use the ideas and general techniques provided.
