Synopsis

Remember when digital cameras first came on the market a few years ago? Like most people, you probably waited to buy one, waiting to see if it was just a fad or if it was going to become a way of life, much like PCs did in the 1980s. Well, years have gone by and digital cameras are only getting better with time. Yet it seems like more people have digital cameras than know how to use them. How Digital Photography Works is a digital camera and photography book that actually tells you how it all works. Full-color, large illustrations take the guesswork out of understanding all of the cool things your digital camera and software can do, from capturing images to fixing mistakes. You will learn:

  • How a lens works
  • How exposure works
  • How digital cameras transform light to become data
  • How digital cameras manipulate photos
  • How digital tools correct picture-taking mistakes
  • How digital print-making works
  • So much more
How Digital Photography Works is the only book that gives you a behind the scenes look at digital photography, ultimately making you a better digital photographer.

Book Overview: Digital cameras are today's personal computers. Digital photography is going through the same sort of ballooning growth PCs did in the '80s. At the end of 2003, 31 percent of U.S. households owned digital cameras. It was a pivotal year for the industry, as digital cameras outsold traditional cameras for the first time ever. By the end of this year, digital camera penetration is projected to surpass 42 percent of households. And the best thing about all this is that the growth hasn't peaked yet. PMA Data Watch has projected the growth of digital camera sales to increase by 64 percent to 50 million units in 2004. Europe has led this growth, roughly doubling its sales volume each year. Growth in the Americas has been strong, rising by 48 percent in 2003.
