Digital Imaging:  A Practical Approach (Febr 2004)

Why does Digital Imaging start with a glossary? So that right from the
beginning readers learn to "speak digital." Koelling demystifies the process
of planning and managing a digitizing project, including important issues of
copyright and ethics, choosing equipment, weighing technical alternatives,
and creating databases. These are not the trendy details that will be out of
date next month but the core issues everyone needs to understand so they can
make good decisions and plan projects with long-term benefits. Koelling
reminds us, too, that these projects can be both fun and satisfying to work
on. Don't miss the last chapter on image enhancement--history detectives
have a great new technique at their fingertips.
