2 out of 5 stars Disappointing Intro Title   July 23, 2004
David Hughes (Davenport, Fl)

If you have an author you like and a style you appreciate it can be a good idea to order a book on that strength. I was wrong. Either that or co-author Peter Cope had very little input in this title. On the strength of his other 'Digital Darkroom' titles, this should have been a great allround title but it disappoints in being too superficial in almost every area. Neither does it feature Pete's very lucid style and approach, again suggesting he was perhaps a minor contributor to this title.

I hate to be negative but I find the overall tone (presumably by the headlining author, Ian Probert) to be overtly journalistic rather than encouragingly educational.

No, I would pass on this title and suggest instead 'Secrets of the Digital Darkroom' and excellent title by the same co-author.



4 out of 5 stars Perfect Digital Photos in a Snap   February 5, 2004
Jos M. Hohmann (Media, PA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Although I'm a "serious" 35mm slide photographer(ie. enter/do well in photo competitions), I know next to nothing about digital, and wanted a easy to understand "primer". I feel that this is a good book for anyone "in the same boat" as I am. I now have a good understanding of what is involved for a beginner, as well as how to do things once I get started. I appreciate the fact that a minimal ammount of space was taken-up with "photo basics"(only 10 pages). I almost didn't buy this book due to its
"super-hype" title, but I'm glad I did.
