When it's time to get the whole picture--the skills required to take great digital photos as well as the iPhoto techniques needed to edit, organize, and share them--this book delivers. This gorgeously illustrated, full-color guide provides everything you need to start taking and preserving great photos with your new digital camera. As a former photojournalist, author Fred Johnson knows that it takes more than great equipment to get great shots--which is precisely why he starts at the beginning, introducing you to the gear required, the preparations needed, and the skills required to shoot like a photojournalist or portrait photographer. That out of the way, Fred gets into the good stuff, detailing how to use iPhoto to edit and enhance photos, create books, order and share photos, produce slide shows, and more. Throughout, the focus is on the real-world situations in which users are likely to employ their cameras and the practical advice they need to create great memories.
