A Good Little Book, Fun to Read

AS FOR THE QUALITY, there are tons of photos and examples in glossy vivid color. I think one of the best things about the book is that it gets your creating juices flowing. It does discuss a lot of Photoshop techniques, so those without an editing program may not enjoy it. And perhaps there is too much on printers; I prefer to send mine over the internet to companies like [...]. Really advanced digital users may find it somewhat basic, but I think most users are basically intermediate, and this book fits the bill. It's chock-full of information, and there's just enough to send you in the right direction to go and explore on your own. I think it's a great "intermediate introduction" and I look forward to purchasing other books by Tom Ang.

Exactly What I Needed to Decide to Go Digital

I've never really liked taking pictures. I like looking at them, but not taking them. A whole bunch of people told me that by going digital I wouldn't dislike taking pictures so much. He then handed me this book, along with the admonishment that a lot of things like the number of megapixels change before the ink has time to dry on any book. ==I read the book and became convinced that the problems I had had before of not knowing if I had the picture, the endless changing of lenses, all the junk you had to carry with you has been replaced by a camera with a big memory card, and a 10X optical zoom that will also take movies. I see some comments about this book that it is too simple, not enough material, not enough detail, etc. Could be. But it was exactly what I needed to tell me what I was getting into by going digital. Most of my pictures are being taken to put on the web. Just the few pages he has on JPEG, GIF, etc. are again exactly what I needed. It told me what I needed to know without going into a bunch of extra detail.
