Reviews
It gets you oriented in a parallel universe that owes as much to personal computing as photography, including good things to know before you buy a camera. And it explains some of the jargon - such as 'noise, ' 'jaggies, ' 'white balance' and 'artifacts.' Ms. Lessing excels in introducing the transfer possibilities and four picture editing programs, including consumer-directed market leaders from Microsoft and Adobe. She also gets into e-mailing, storage and peripherals such as memory-card readers and printers. The tone is straightforward, so you won't feel intimidated. A few cartoons lighten the mood, but there's none of the jumpy typography that can be so distracting in the Idiot's guides.
