An invaluable tool for digital image-making
I am a high school graphic arts teacher, and am always looking for resources to help bring the most accurate and up-to-date information to my students. This book was an incredible find!! It contains very basic yet crucial foundational information regarding the creation of digital artwork. It features a chapter on building a studio, which includes everything you need to know about your computer and peripherals. It also includes several chapters of ideas on everything from preparing scanned images to understanding computer color theory to creating interesting effects in your images to explaining all the different file formats available. This book is a gem - I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a user-friendly resource that explains the process of creating digital images in terms that just about anyone can understand.

A great book for beginers and intermediate digital painters
I picked Glen's book at the public library and simply loved it. It is a great book that showcases different techniques. I also liked the fact it does not restrict itself to the high end software, but also shows examples using Dabbler (the best value for the money). It is a good book both as a first time reading and a reference book. :-)
