This book contains a number of excellent digital techniques and tips that will help aspiring photographers improve their skills dramatically.

However, readers with digital point and shoot cameras will still find it a worthwhile purchase.

The digital photography hacks that are included in this book are broken down into a variety of different categories, including weekend projects, Photoshop magic, daytime secrets, magic with flash and several more. There is even a chapter that provides tips and tricks for anyone who wants to improve the photographs that they take with their mobile phones.

The author maintains that using a digital camera allows for a greater level of creativity than was possible with film cameras. Previously, photographers were always worried about the cost of film, but this concern is virtually eliminated with the introduction of digital technology. With this in mind, readers are encouraged to experiment with the hacks that are included in the book.

A varied collection of colour photographs is included in the book, which really increases its overall appeal.
