The Better Digital Photography Guide to Special Effects and Photo-Art

Nowhere is the potential of digital photography greater than in the fields of special effects and photo-art.

And, if one experiment doesn’t work, they can go back and try a different tack with a few clicks of the mouse. Each of Michael Busselle’s striking images, which he uses to demonstrate the almost limitless range of effects that can be achieved, are accompanied by instructions that show the reader, step by step, exactly how the effect was achieved.
