There is little doubt that the use of digital images in learning, teaching and research projects is growing. Typical uses include: supporting lectures and other presentations; creating Web-based instruction and creating digital image archives. Another aspect of digital images is that they can be delivered on a variety of supports: PowerPoint, Web, image database, CD-ROM, and print.
It is therefore important to be familiar with image digitisation processes in order to obtain images that will be ‘fit for purpose’. This document shows you how to apply image enhancement techniques using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
