The power of digital processing means that, these days, pressing the shutter is only the beginning of the process. Digital files or scans from traditional prints always need some post-production work, even if it is just a minor tweak to contrast or colour. This comprehensive guide demonstrates expert techniques to help make the best of your photography as well as step-by-step tutorials in achieving the most commonly encountered digital manipulations. Beyond enhancing your images, the book goes on to give invaluable advice on how to get the best from printing your photographs at home or at a commercial lab. Illustrated with a mixture of fresh and original photographs by the author and other top professional photographers, with a focus on positive results and how to achieve them.
