Description:
With increasing numbers of grandmothers (among others) getting connected to the Internet and digital cameras selling at a frantic pace, sharing digital photographs by e-mail is more popular than ever. Attaching an image file to a message is relatively straightforward, but you'll probably need some assistance if you want to crop, combine, or otherwise alter your digital images before sending them over the river and through the woods. PhotoDeluxe Home Edition for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide shows you exactly how to get what you want from the consumer version of Adobe PhotoDeluxe, a strikingly powerful image-editing program for home computers. If you're like most home digital-camera users, you're not out to learn everything about your image-editing software. You just want to know what steps to follow to scan a traditional photograph into your computer, fit digital images into documents such as greeting cards, and get rid of flash-induced red- eye. The book explains all of these procedures and quite a few more in detail, presenting explicit sequences of steps to follow and supplementing those steps with lots of illustrations of what you're supposed to see at each stage. The grayscale images are frequently muddy, but the book has a very good color section. --David Wall Topics covered: Image editing with Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Edition for Windows. Readers learn how to use the PhotoDeluxe icons and menus, get images from a scanner or digital camera into the program, fit images into cards and other publications, and apply filters and other effects. Other sections describe editing out unwanted sections of photos, correcting color, and (to some degree) fixing focus problems.
