Review
Does exactly what it says on the cover. The beauty of the Readers Digest, How To, books, is that potentially complicated stuff is broken down into short, easy-to-read paragraphs illustrated throughout with colour snapshot images. --Caravan Club magazine - Jan 07

Customer Reviews

Projects for digital photos in easy pictorial steps.
This book represents good value for money and deals with all the more familiar projects such as changing the faces in photos, making greeting cards, turning photos into paintings and comic book art. The layout is simple and very accessible. Even if you only wanted guidance on a couple of the projects this is a good basic guide and a good refresher for those who have forgotten how to perform some of the digital magic. The software used is Adobe Photoshop Elements but the layout is so clear it is easy to apply the steps to your own image editing program. A good book for inspiration for beginners and occasional 'digital artists'.
