You’ve captured great images with your DSLR, now what?

In this accessible and beautifully illustrated guide, learn about:

• The essential DSLR gear, with suggested computer and laptop configurations, digital darkroom and color management setups, and best capture formats for your style of shooting.
  

• General preferences and display options to customize and enhance your workflow.

• The Lightroom 2 modules to effectively organize, process, and catalog your images.

• Integration with Photoshop CS3, including making panoramas and high dynamic range (HDR) images.

Loaded with tips and techniques from a seasoned photographer, including a pre-shoot checklist for camera settings, Courvoisier delivers a digital workflow system that allows you to spend less time at your computer and more time behind the camera capturing great images.
