New color copy machines, palm-size video cameras, and cheap hard disks are three of the components of a new photography. Digital photography can't compete with one-hour color prints for casual use, but in the world of graphic arts, the digitization of images is shifting the nature of pictures. Many practical problems remain, however - such as the lack of a standard method for determining what color you're looking at. Digital Photography covers that and more. It's a swell first-read intro to the technical issues of this embryonic craft.
