This is an unusually helpful book for many photographers. It not only talks about the free software available to assist photographers in enhancing their images, but it also goes over some of the features of the more expensive programs. It also tells you how to get more from those programs as well as finding inexpensive or free programs that do similar chores. Whether you use a phone, tablet or camera to capture the moment, your images may need cropping, color correction or other creative changes to express what you saw, thought or felt. This is a book that gives one great alternates to find just the perfect programs that not only will do the job, but many without spending anything or very little. Cope has liberally sprinkled the information in this book with excellent illustrations. There are suggestions for program selections based on what you want to accomplish. Specific software is suggested. This is an e-book that is well worth having as an important part of your photographic tool box.

About the Author
Peter has had a lifelong interest in photography that has seen him embrace both the creative and technology sides – as well as acting as an (often) unpaid ambassador for both. First by using a traditional darkroom and later a digital one he has been keen to push the limits. His involvement with digital photography has been particularly long, having worked on Image Photon Counting Systems, the precursors of modern digital cameras, as an astrophysics undergraduate student.
His avid interest would lead him – when digital technology became widely available – to be the first person to submit a digital entry for a photographic contest. It caused much scratching of heads by the organisers but did gain him his first honourable mention in the photographic press.
A true enthusiast, Peter is always armed with at least one camera. Hence, on holidays, days out and social events he can be found with a camera permanently primed and ready to fire. And his passion for technology extends beyond photography as he can often be found enthusiastically promoting all manner of devices in publications as diverse as MacUser, The Lady and Saga Magazine.
Arguing that he is not so much a professional photographer as a passionate one, Peter continues to evangelise photography and in particular the benefits and fun that new technologies can bring. He is the author of many books on photography ranging from 100 Ways to Make Good Photos Great to The Smart Phone Photography Guide.
Peter is married with two children who have suffered immensely as subjects for his photography. He is also an avid long distance runner who has frequently sacrificed a personal best time in order to stop for some photo opportunities along a marathon route.
