 In Defense... June 4, 2002
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I wanted to write in defense of this book, which some people have been disappointed in, according to other reviews. I admit that the title is misleading, and that's probably the fault of the publisher, rather than the author.
I'm a traditional (35 mill) photographer who was thrilled to find a book like this. I was looking for something that would teach me how to convert my old pictures to a digital medium, and Ang's book has all the answers, as well as lots of inspiring ideas. I hope people won't be put off by the other reviews, because, for those of us who still use film but who want to enter the digital age, this is a fantastic book and a great find.
 A pretty-looking coffee table type book March 20, 2002

I agree with the reviewer who was unhappy that a book called The Art of Digital Photography contains only photos taken with film. What's digital about this book? There are no helpful techniques suggested, digital or otherwise. This is more like a promotion for Adobe Photoshop & a plug for a few of the author's talented friends than anything else. Not recommended.
Beautiful but unhelpful June 15, 2001
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
First off, a book about digital photography where almost none of the photos were taken witha digital camera? I wasn't very happy with that. It had some great photos, but didn't offer enough information about how I could take similar shots. It was just too general.
 Nice to look at, but disappointing April 13, 2000
92 out of 93 found this review helpful
The design is a treat for the eyes, and there's plenty of good ideas and information too, but this book is really misnamed. It's actually about scanning and digital editing; virtually none of the photos were taken with a digital camera, a fact that's not explained until the very end. And the explanation is pretty lame (digicams aren't ready for prime time). This is half a book about digital photography. I wanted a whole one.
Vital for beginners and advanced digital workers alike! January 5, 2000

Tom's lucid, elegant prose explains the most complicated concepts painlessly and interestingly. Beautifully illustrated with the author's remarkable photographs, this book is comprehensive, witty, and an invaluable reference work for beginners and advanced digital artists alike. It also inspires with a selection of the work of Sandy Gardner.
