Book Reviews of Mastering Digital Scanning with Slides, Film, and Transparencies
Book Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book actually made me angry. I feel the title is misleading to the point of fraud. Not only will you not master slide scanning (or any scanning) with this book, you won't even get to first base. The author natters on and on about everything under the sun remotely connected to scanning but gives next to no information on how to actually scan! Some people are saying that it might be good for beginners, but I really disagree. It's almost completely lacking basic, basic information anybody, especially beginners, would need to get good results. I am in complete agreement with the critical reviews by Mark Zelyony, Bernd Schneitler, and Mick36522. Conversely, I am amazed at some of the laudatory reviews. Whatever you guys are smoking, I want some too!
Summary of Mastering Digital Scanning with Slides, Film, and Transparencies
According to the Photo Marketing Association's 2003 Review and Forecast, 988 million rolls of film will be sold in the United States alone, along with another 210 million one-time-use film cameras. We're as likely to see filmless photography anytime soon as we are to work in a paperless office. "Mastering Digital Imaging with Slides, Film, and Transparencies" approaches this hot topic from the photographer's viewpoint rather than that of the graphics guru or PC hardware maniac. It covers do-it-yourself solutions, like slide copy attachments for digital cameras (a widely available but almost unknown accessory) and building your own back-light source for your flatbed.Digital Photography Books
