Digital Photo Artist

Accomplished photographers share their secrets for using digital technology as a tool for artistic expression. Worobiec and Spence take readers through each step in the process, starting with image capture methods utilizing compact cameras, video surveillance equipment, and flatbed scanners. Detailed instructions guide photographers through the full spectrum of digital image manipulation techniques, including filtering, solarisation, layering, masking, and texturing. Illustrated with screen grabs that track the creation of the authors' work from individual elements to completed images, this invaluable handbook also gives equal attention to aesthetic considerations, and encourages readers to follow their own artistic inclinations.
