Canon parades a dual lineup in compact digicams; there’s the IXUS lineup and the appropriately named PowerShot range.
PowerShots are indeed ‘power cameras’ and the Canon Powershot SX200IS is a fine example of this. There are 12.1 million pixels on the CCD, captured by an optically-stabilised 12x zoom lens and viewed via a 7.6 cm LCD [...]
Nikon’s Coolpix P90 is a camera that can not only make you smile but capture them as well … then shoots people only with their eyes open. We hope you find our review of it helpful below.
It looks a little like an interchangeable dSLR but it’s far smaller and lighter (500 grams). Then you look [...]
Some complain that digital capture is not pure photography and matters worsen once the digital image is pushed, pummeled and pampered in software. After all, ‘real’ artists use oils, acrylics, water colours etc, while ‘real’ photographers avoid trickery as they attempt to capture all the elements of shot at the moment of exposure.
Then there are [...]
Encouraged by Epson, Rib Sheppard has now delivered this fourth edition of his New Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing and, if you are sparked by books with large, lavish pictures, this will be the one for you.
Camera and printer technology has changed in remarkable ways with digital compacts and DSLRs carrying previously unheard of [...]
It’s getting tough out there in the naming business: Adobe’s got Lightroom — good name; Apple has Aperture — OK too; then it gets down to such words as ‘iris’ — and would you believe there’s a whole forest of irises splashed across the computer village. There’s an iris for accountants, astronomers, the people in [...]
You can abuse it, denigrate it, ignore it and generally shove it to the furthest recesses of your mind … but monochrome imagery just won’t lie down!
So, here’s yet another book on how to create digital monochrome pictures – Creative Digital Monochrome Effects. And, have to admit, I’m a sucker for the whole topic.
Basically, making [...]
Sometimes Photoshop is just too much! All too often I hear that cry and ‘too much’ can refer not only to the exhausting list of complex tricks it can pull but also to the price.
Wiith ImageWell we have an app that attacks both objections. Sadly, you have to be a Mac user to enjoy it. [...]
For me, books of this type are often worth their weight in gold: not only do they remind you of the key essentials in digital photography, but they can often bring you back from the brink of pictorial disaster.
An example of the latter: I recall having trouble with an image that would not surrender to [...]
What an odd title, you say. Few people ever think about the desktop scanner as anything more than a way to digitise documents but you would be missing out on a whole barrel of talent if you ignored the power of a scanner.
The shame is that, just as I write this message to all you [...]
They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Maybe.
However, in photography of the digital kind, there’s an equivalent function that, used properly, can be of enormous help in capturing subjects with degrees of sharpness that may surprise the less informed photographer.
For some unknown reason you won’t find much about hyperfocal distance in recent [...]
