Adding ghostly images, transforming skin to fur, and creating stop-action photography are among the special effects digital photographers learn in this guide to manipulating a camera's conventional settings for unconventional and artistic effect. The camera itself provides the initial departure point from traditional photography as photographers are encouraged to use "incorrect" exposure settings, "poor" focus, and reflections to create striking and dramatic images. Instruction on popular digital imaging programs such as Adobe Photoshop Elements, Kai's SuperGoo, and PhotoVista 3D provides photographers with the means to manipulate photographs further with creative filters that transform daytime shots into nighttime images, a library of facial components, and the ability to combine images to create a three-dimensional digital object. A section on printing both at home and at a lab includes simple tips for enhancing the impact of photographs on paper.

For some reason I thought this was going to be a fun photoshop-tricks type instruction guide. And even though I am pretty good at PS, I don't normally do "trick" stuff. Hence, the purchase.
However, I had this on my kindle for less than five minutes before I deleted it and applied for a refund.
The "tricks" are such basic things such as how to do depth of field (and why), filters, angles, extended exposures, etc.
I mean...there is even a small chapter on why to up the contrast.
Good info for people just getting into photography,and who want to know what interesting things they could do by adjusting manual settings and/or fussing in a photo-editing program...but not really for anyone more advanced than that.
It should also be noted that even if you have a kindle fire or are viewing a kindle app on a computer or iPad...the kindle version only has black and white photos of poor quality. Not particularly helpful when discussing filters and such.
