Book Review: 101 Quick And Easy Secrets For Using Your Digital Photographs by Matthew Bamberg

Part of: The Enlightened Image

There are millions of photographs sitting around on laptops, desktops, in online accounts like Flickr and Facebook, and on storage devices such as hard drives and CDs. Most of them are just sitting around gathering digital dust. Add to that all of the years of film and slide images that are slowly deteriorating while collecting real dust.

The goal of 101 Quick And Easy Secrets For Using Your Digital Photographs is to show you different methods for resurrecting those images and putting them to use by showing you the best ways to manipulate, manage, publish, share, and promote your images. This book is 208 pages and is divided into 13 chapters.

Chapter 1, "Preparing Your Photos for Use," you need to make sure you have everything handled properly. That means making sure that your computer is running right so you don't lose your images. You also need to have an alternate plan such as offline storage so that if something bad happens you can recover. You will also need products to work with your images. In this chapter you will learn about all of these.

Chapter 2, "Sharing Your Photos Online," is about getting your images off of your computer and to online places where you can share them with others. A number of sites are described including Flickr, Picasa, Shutterfly, Photobucket, ImageShack, MySpace, and Facebook.

Chapter 3, "Sharing Your Photos with Family and Friends," shows various ways to share your images with friends and family including how to have photo night parties, working with photography groups, taking classes, and making a website for displaying your images.

Chapter 4, "Preparing Your Photos for Use," usually starts by printing the best of them. This will give you a better feel for how they really look. This chapter shows you how to set you images up for printing. It includes choosing the right printer, learning about color management, and how to outsource the printing of your images.
