Media Reviews
While this fine introduction to contemporary digital imaging was penned as a textbook by two university professors, don't expect it to be dry and academic. Rather, it is thorough but concise, in-depth, and replete with practical tips and lots of color illustrations. - EDigital Photo

Whether you are a student or, like myself, a long-tooth after some top tips, Galer and Horvat's book should find a good home.
Joel Lacey, Amateur Photographer
