The purpose of this guidebook

For all professional photographers

Enhancing your understanding of

the digital workflow

This guidebook is designed to assist

professional photographers in their switch

to digital photography. In particular, the

guidebook helps explain many of the

creative options available when using digital

cameras to produce photos for commercial

printing. We believe photographers in all

fields from advertising to publishing to

photojournalism, whether shooting in the

field or in a studio, will find this guidebook

a source of useful information.

This guidebook separates the workflow of

digital photography into two sections: The

first section covers shooting-related topics,

such as lighting techniques, studio

photography, and potential outdoor uses

for digital cameras. It also describes actual

shooting situations to clearly illustrate

functional differences between film and

digital cameras.

The second section deals with data

processing; it covers everything from color

management and file handling to image

analysis and printing preparations.

Clarifying the responsibilities of

photographers

Workflow is a linear description of the

path that your digital assets follow

• Pages where additional information

can be found are indicated using the

icon shown above. We recommend

that you refer to these pages for a

more complete understanding of the

processes or techniques discussed.

• Nearly every photo in this guidebook

was taken with the EOS-1Ds Mark II.

(See P.90-91 for details of the photos

and their printing preparation.)

• This guidebook was produced mainly

with the EOS-1Ds Mark II in mind.

The responsibilities of photographers in

the digital workflow vary widely with the

specific requirements of each job.

By taking you through the entire process

of digital photography, from shooting and

image compensation to editing and printing

preparation, we will help you to define and

streamline the varying workflow

responsibilities and draw the line between

your own responsibilities and those of

others involved.

Free your imagination!

Capture the new day with

EOS digital cameras.

Digital definition for crystal clear images.

EOS digital cameras have changed the world of photography.
