Digital Photo Projects For Dummies
Digital Photo Projects For Dummies presents a unique twist on understanding the basics of digital photography. This full-color book walks you through the most common projects and tasks you'll encounter in your digital photography activities. The book demonstrates the basics of setting your camera for the best shot before diving into how to improve your photos. Projects include brightening a dark photo, improving focus, getting rid of red-eye, touching up blemishes, creating a collage, adding a photo to a business card, rescuing old or damaged photos, and turning a photo into a piece of artwork ready for framing.

This book includes a DVD that contains "screencast" lessons created by the author that let you watch the specific steps of selected projects on your screen while you do them yourself. The DVD also includes trial versions of photo software as well as sample images from the book.

Connected Photographer's evaluation
Overall, this is a nicely complete edition of the classic Dummies book. Rather than explore an individual product, King looks at the sorts of things you might want to accomplish and takes you through the steps. While the book is more tasks than projects, it's still a worthwhile read, but it is a bit costly at $34.99 and the included DVD that boosts the price might not be worth the added expense. Still, a fine book and a worthwhile read.
