    Tim Grey is regarded as one of the top educators in digital photography and imaging, offering clear guidance on complex subjects through his writing and speaking. He loves learning as much as he possibly can about digital imaging, and he loves sharing that information even more.

    Tim's work combines several of his greatest passions: technology, teaching, photography, writing, and travel. All of these have been part of his life in some way for as long as he can remember, and became a major focus starting in high school. He has been focused on digital photography and imaging for over 10 years.

    Tim has written more than a dozen books on digital imaging for photographers, including the best-selling Photoshop CS4 Workflow and Take Your Best Shot. He has also had hundreds of articles published in magazines such as Digital Photo Pro, Outdoor Photographer, and PC Photo, among others. He publishes the Digital Darkroom Questions email newsletter, as well as the Digital Darkroom Quarterly print newsletter. Tim teaches through workshops, seminars, and appearances at major events. He is a member of the Photoshop World Dream Team of Instructors.

    With such a busy schedule, Tim doesn't get much time to actually take pictures. He squeezes in as much photography as he can during his business travels, and also takes advantage of every opportunity to photograph near his home in Bellevue, Washington.

    Tim can be contacted at tim@timgrey.com.

I went to a large bookstore today looking for a basic book on digital photography I could buy for my newbee sister so she could get some real insights into the camera I bought for her Christmas present. I'd looked through about fifteen different books and they all sucked until I looked at this one. I started paging through the beginning of the book and I thought, "This is perfect! It gives basic but rigorous descriptions of all the fundamentals that I would teach my sister myself if I lived near her." Then I started looking over the rest of the book and to my amazement, I found chapters written at a depth that even I was interested in reading (look up some of my digital photography on [...]) and I ordered a copy of it for myself. I am now about to order a copy of it for my sister!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific book to get started with digital photography
Reviewed in the United States on 9 January 2010

Almost everything I've amassed from four or five years of digital photography is in this book. It covers all sorts of topics so that someone who knows nothing about digital photography can understand how digital imaging works both in the camera and on the computer. The book explains photography equipment, technical stuff, how digital compares to film, how to edit, organize, and correct digital images, and much more. Not only that, but the book is well organized, easy for anyone to understand, and features hundreds of full-color images to help demonstrate its lessons. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about getting started in digital photography, and would encourage them to read it cover to cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Either way is ok.

There is nothing new or earth shattering in this book. In my mind it's merely a photographic book with the word "Digital" in the title, if you know nothing about photography then it may be useful. Otherwise it may find its way on your shelf never to be glanced at again just it has made its way in my library.
