PC Magazine Guide to Printing Great Digital Photos

Rating:
Summary: A solid guide to digital printing
Review: This clear and concise guide is a great resource for beginners and serious amateurs. Well-organized and well written, it covers all aspects of digital photo printing, from selecting equipment, supplies, and software to preserving and presenting photos. Windows and Macintosh users alike will find good information. Rather than focusing upon a single photo-editing program, the author gives general photo editing advice, with examples from a variety of software packages. Confusing issues like camera resolution versus screen resolution versus printer resolution are explained clearly. One shortcoming is that the explanations of how to set levels and apply sharpening to images are too brief and simplified. There are also a few too many illustrations showing equipment and supplies. The author has wisely provided ample cross-referencing between chapters, and has included a number of information-rich tables.
