Customer Reviews

Won't Raise You To New Levels Of Image Editing Knowledge. (C. Batten, Sydney, Australia, 2008-07-12)

The verdict is I was dissappointed. Why?

The book is well laid out and very easy to quickly navigate around. Finding information on specific tasks is no trouble.

The one fact I couldn't overlook though was that this book is really just a re-presentation of the information contained in the Microsoft Digital Image Suite manual and help menu.

While there are "No-Nonsense" tips scattered throughout the book, it is not enough to make it a great addition to the software manual.

To add context, I was looking for a book that went beyond the manual. There are a multitude of books that cover the technicalities of digital image editing and they nearly all use Adobe Photoshop as the basis for examples, "how to", "when to", and "why to".

I was hoping this book offered more advanced technical editing information using the MS software, e.g. using layers, adjusting curves, etc. This could have been the book that fully explored the prosumer potential of the software suite. Sadly it missed the opportunity and seems more suitable to the point-n-shoot first-timer rather the digital photography hobbyist.

If you are looking for a replacement for a lost manual, go for it. If you want more advanced help and guidance, give it a miss and look for a more generic book and then just experiment with the software.

Termination of Digital Image Suite 10 (Nancy R. Hallock, Wisconsin, 2007-07-02)

It's a fantastic program, but Microsoft has terminated this product due to the fact that all the features are now included Windows Vista. What a shame!

Like the App, this book makes digital photography easy! (Lorna Daly, Parkwood Hills, ON, 2005-09-02)

Not just how to, buy why to! Clear, concise and worth every penny.

Easy to follow - Fun Read (The Zukker, St. Augustine, FL, 2005-04-14)

For anyone new to Digital Image Suite, this book is a must have. It's extremely easy to follow and fun examples keep it interesting. Well worth the $$$!
