The Barnes & Noble Review
This sorely needed book will help professional photographers get their digital images where they belong: into the world.
Jon Canfield and Tim Grey begin with an outstanding primer on digital prints: choosing the right printer and medium, preparing and previewing images, managing workflow, software RIPs, proof sheets, border treatments, even choosing labs and online services. Later, they address mounting, matting, framing, and exhibitions -- even pricing your work, and selling it in galleries.
Speaking of galleries, youﾽll learn how to create your own 24x7 gallery on the Web: everything from design and navigation through image compression -- and of course, site promotion. Thereﾽs even a full section on creating effective digital slide shows -- in person, via projector, or on the Web or DVD.
Simply put, creating your image is only the beginning. Photo Finish helps with everything that happens next. Bill Camarda, from the December 2004 Read Only
