 The book touches on inspiration: where to find it, how to exploit it. This short chapter introduces 'quick start' methods for using digital cameras and scanners, with ideas for correcting poor photos and developing scans.

The whole idea of the book is to get in there and get started without pages of information on using the printer. For those with more technical leanings, two appendices give greater insight into using these devices.

Pic i4In this chapter, we explore:
  • the basics of capturing your design

  • gathering and logging information

  • using the internet

  • applying special effects

  • making inspirational books

  • improving your pictures.
