Secrets of the Digital Darkroom is the perfect bridge for anyone making the move from conventional photography into the world of digital imaging.
As more and more photographers move from film to digital cameras, it’s time to discover a new type of darkroom. For years the secrets of developing great photographs were restricted to those with the expertise and money to spare, but not any more.
With just a basic computer and some inexpensive software you can produce perfect photos, correct your mistakes and bring your ageing pictures back to life. This book will show you how.
And that’s not all. Secrets of the Digital Darkroom takes you beyond the basic techniques to reveal how digital imaging can unleash the full potential of any photograph.
Learn how to create stunning works of art that could never be produced via conventional means. Discover how simple effects can re-create looks from the early photographic pioneers. Packed with great tips, Secrets of the Digital Darkroom is an essential book for today’s photographer.
Practical projects take you step-by-step from the basics of contrast and colour correction, through retouching and repair, to highly creative montage and manipulation.
Meanwhile, easy-to-follow exercises help you re-create the look of the earliest processing methods, giving your photos a distinctive, classic style in moments. Secrets of the Digital Darkroom shows you how to do everything you could in the old-fashioned darkroom and more, but with the precision and control of the latest technology.
