Photo Nuts and Post, the new DPS - Digital Photo School eBook, is the ultimate guide for post-processing. If the word sounds strange to you and you want to repent from being away from the right path, this is the right time and place. By this eBook. It will make you a better photographer.

Let me say, before we start, that I still laugh, these days, when I get people to tell me that the pictures they take are... "just like they came out of the camera". It always reminds me that some of the best photographers from the past always worked in tandem with printers that would get the utmost detail out of their negatives. Somewhere along the line to digital people forgot reality.

Cameras are mere instruments to do what we want with light, and we are not mere "press the button operators" satisfied with what the sensors and processors inside the camera do. They're there to create a base from where we go. Yes, I do believe we have to make the picture at the moment we take it, but maybe I should say... we make the negative. As before in time the image on film was a latent image needing some developing to become viewable, also today the bytes in our cards, although seeable in a computer, need some processing to get at their best.

It's at that point that this eBook enters. Neil Creek, that wrote it, has also written the previous two eBooks in this collection, Photo Nuts and Bolts and Photo Nuts and Shots. The first is a look at how cameras work, with the basics of exposure a.s.o, the second explores creativity and shows easier ways to get things done in the field.

Because a photographer at some point returns home with his photographs, and if he is wise he will want to post process them, Neil has written this 110 page compendium, that takes you from the most needed explanations of how everything happens with bits and bytes to showing you, through some practical examples, different processing solutions for, also, common problems we all face. If you've been buying magazines over and over and are somehow lost from the deluge of different suggestions to get to the same point, maybe this is a good way to skip that crossroad. Get the simpler version,understanding, as Neil Creek says,  that "processing photos is a creative process and, like any creative process, there are as many opinions on how to do it as there are photographers. Each photographer has a different ‘eye’, a different artistic aesthetic, and a different way of doing things. There is no right or wrong way to process a photo, as long as the end result is what you wanted. Nonetheless, the fundamental principles are the same for everyone."

And the fundamentals are here... And there are fundamentals for a lot of problems in this eBook, and you get them all from the same source, so they are not colliding with something you learned from a different article... the other day. It's clear that it is Neill's vision, but you do have to learn it from someone, so why not get the whole collection of tips from just one source: this eBook.

I do not mean that after finishing Photo Nuts and Post you'll not need to read anything else. No, it does not work that way. But this eBook does cover a lot of ground, so I am sure you'll come back to it many times, because you know there's an answer there for something you need to do.

This eBook will help you discover the hidden potential of many photos you've taken, With its help you'll be able to go through your files and rediscover the gems waiting for some post processing. That's the trick here. From setting the ground for a good workflow starting at the capture moment and ending when you share your images with friends, Photo Nuts and Post makes for some nice reading that will make it easier to make your images "pop".
