What we think
Overall, this book is great. It's got excellent photographs throughout, many of them in color. And, as I said before, it's very well written. I have a few minor nits. Some of the tips are a bit simplistic. For example, the tip on getting quality color from your inkjet printer presupposes that your printer has color profiles. If your printer didn't come with a profile, the tip gives you no suggestions for what to do about it.

Also, there are classes of digital camera photos just screaming for tips, like taking pictures for eBay and for online dating services. These weren't mentioned in the book. Of course, that's what a magazine like Connected Photographer is here for, so I'm glad they left us something to write about.

We give Digital Photography Hacks by Derrick Small a very clear 4 out of 5.
