The Manual of photography

"The Manual of Photography is the standard work for anyone who is serious about photography: professional photographers and lab technicians or managers, as well as students and enthusiastic amateurs who want to become more technically competent. The authors provide comprehensive and accessible coverage of the techniques and technologies of photography."

"The Manual now covers digital techniques, and a new colour plate section illustrates the chapters on colour techniques. Major new updates for the ninth edition include: coverage of digital techniques - more emphasis on electronic and hybrid media; and greater coverage of colour measurement, specification and reproduction - illustrated with a new colour plate section. Dealing with the fundamental principles as well as the practices of photography and imaging, the Manual covers topics ranging from optics to camera types and features, to colour photography and digital image processing and manipulation." "Readership: Students on photography/digital imaging/art and design courses and those on computer courses needing to understand the scientific aspects."--Jacket.
