Overview
With digital technology, the dive is just the beginning of the fun you can have with underwater photography. Digital imaging software makes it possible to eliminate many of the problems that arise with underwater photography specifically (backscatter, color shifts, etc.) and with photography in general (exposure issues, poor composition, focus erros, etc.). In this book, Jack and Sue Drafahl guide you through the process step by step, using Adobe Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) to correct common flaws—and even some not-so-common ones like processing erros and scratched negatives. Finally, they show you how to share your images with friends around the world via the Internet, or at home with dazzling slide shows.
