In this book, Theresa Airey provides all the information readers need to start creating beautiful high-quality digital prints from their own images on a home printer. She begins by discussing the equipment needed, covering everything from computer platforms and printers to storage media and scanners. A chapter on colour management simplifies this difficult topic and explains how to adjust monitors, image-editing software preferences, and printer setting to optimise prints. Papers and inks are also addressed in detail, and a chapter on hand-colouring digital prints provides tips and techniques. The author also explains the many creative techniques that can be used to manipulate scanned images in Photoshop. Using numerous step-by-step examples of her own work, she provides simple, clear explanations of how she achieved her stunning effects.
