"""Throughout the text, the authors aim to demystify the plethora of terms and acronyms encountered in digital photography while providing a basis for understanding existing and future digital imaging technologies. Basic Photographic Materials and Processes 4th edition serves as the ultimate, yet concise, resource in the field."" Marilyn Waligore, Professor of Photography, University of Texas at Dallas ""As photo-based artist and educator who is always asking how and why something works, this is the book I grab to answer many of those questions. The authors have done an amazing job explaining the science of photography in a very approachable manner. It is the book I recommend to all my students when they ask me any scientific question I cannot answer."" Lewis J. Crawford, Assistant Professor (Lecturer), University of Utah.
