Book description
Are you struggling to get good prints from your images? Are your
digital photos hogging your hard drive instead of hanging out in
snappy albums and archives? Looking for ways to improve your prints
beyond simple snapshots?
The popularity and convenience of digital photography has led to
more pictures being taken, but fewer being turned into beautiful
prints, framed, put in photo albums, and shared with others. The
majority of users do nothing with their images for two reasons: the
results are disappointing and the process of improving and
preparing images for print is daunting. Written by popular
photographer, columnist, and digital imaging expert Jon Canfield,
this book shows you how to easily enhance and prepare your digital
images for printing. Step-by-step instructions and tutorials
coupled with full-color images and screenshots explain how to use
Photoshop CS2 or Elements for color management and correction;
editing images for printing, including properly sizing, sharpening,
and converting to monochrome; to fix lighting; and more. You'll
also learn how to take your printing to the next level by: using
different print technologies, papers, and inks; selecting Raster
Image Processors; framing and mounting their prints;
self-publishing; and effectively working with print services for
the best output possible.
