Information Papers from The Photo Imaging Council
If you need Adobe Acrobat PDF file reading software, please follow this link. The Photo Imaging Council has commissioned a series of explanatory
guides on digital imaging in order to help understanding of the
various systems now available and the new options possible for
storage, software, printing... PIC has taken the view that most visitors to the website are interested
in introductory information on digital imaging. We have therefore
attempted to remove 'jargon' and to make the copy appeal to the
average person seeking basic details rather than an informed user
who already has a reasonable understanding of the technology. The Guides have been written by Adrian Davies, lecturer and Deputy
Head of the Arts, Media and General Education Department at NESCOT,
Surrey. Adrian has set up various courses in digital imaging,
including HND and degree programmes, and provides specialist training
and consultancy for the photo imaging industry. He has written
several books including Digital Imaging for Photographers, co-authored
with Phil Fennessy, nearly into its fourth edition, and over 50
articles for journals on imaging topics. PIC hopes that these guides will introduce the potential of digital
technology for image production to those interested in photography.
PIC member companies would like the public to know and obtain
the best possible quality from the various products and systems
available.
