CREATE A PICTURE-PERFECT WORLD WITH DIGITAL IMAGES: A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Berkeley, CA, August 31, 1995--Dancing mouthwash bottles on TV. Strikingly
retouched photographs in magazines. Realistic-looking dinosaurs in the
movies. Digital images are everywhere. Once solely the realm of graphics
professionals; creating, manipulating, and enhancing computer images can
now be done by anyone with a computer and the right software. But it's a
far from simple process. What's the best software and hardware for each
task? Where do the original images come from? And how does it all come
together on the press, on screen, or in a multimedia presentation? Adele
Droblas Greenberg and Seth Greenberg answer these questions and more in
Digital Images: A Practical Guide.

Designed to help non-experts, Digital Images describes everything readers
need to know to begin working with digital images, including:

* How digital images are used today
* Computer art basics--the difference between bitmap and vector
  programs--and more
* Creating your own digital images
* Scanning and video capture
* Obtaining existing images online or from stock houses and dealing
  with copyright issues
* Producing and manipulating computer pictures
* Getting started with 3D and multimedia programs
* Producing great-looking output

Additional features include an interview with the creators of the
best-selling computer game, Myst; a foreword by Kai Krause, creator of
Kai's Power Tools; and "Tips of the Trade"--special tricks and techniques
shared by various digital imaging experts.

Filled with helpful illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and
little-known tips direct from the pros, Digital Images: A Practical Guide
shows how anyone can start generating attention-grabbing computer art
today!
