Features: The depth of the book's content is designed to meet the needs of readers who want to understand the materials provided by manufacturers when selling lenses, lighting tools, film, developing equipment, etc., to experienced users. The breadth of the book covers the differences between amateur and professional photography; various photographic subject matters; photo printing and reproduction; as well as the development and significance of digital images. The book assumes that readers only handle black and white photographs and provides a detailed discussion starting from the basic principles of printing color photographs. While discussing traditional methods, the book also consistently incorporates digital image content. For example, in chapters on camera principles, photographic materials, lighting, tonal control, and color printing, digital technology is integrated. Generally, people are familiar with some equipment and production processes related to electronic technology and silver halide technology. Even if less common, it is necessary to compare the two production methods and provide justification for the combined use of new and old technologies. For instance, digital image processing of original film is an undeniable practice. An overview of the connections between digital images and their inevitable relationship with silver halide can be found in the latter part of the book.
