"From the table of contents all the way through, Cindy Shebley has created the essential guide for those online sellers who, like me, have most aspects down pat but can't seem to duplicate those slick professional-looking photos that we so envy in others' auctions!Even those who have been using digital cameras for years will learn the subtle tricks of the trade that take a photograph from okay to wow! If you're just beginning to consider using digital photography, read up here before buying your first camera. You'll have a better understanding of where to best invest in equipment. If you're due for an upgrade to your digital camera equipment, read up here before buying your next camera! You'll discover what's truly important and what features are going to give you the most for your investment. The simple explanations of the features on digital cameras made much more sense than my owner's manual and the examples of what can be done with various features gave me the motivation to learn my way through my digital camera's menus and try out settings I never even knew existed.

Do you ever long to truly understand what a pixel is and why it matters? Do you know the difference between a GIFF and TIFF? What about those cool photos that seem to float on the background--don't you wish you could do that? Well, now you can know it all, from the basics of pixels and formats to those all important tricks. Backgrounds, lighting, professional equipment and Shoestring Studio tricks to duplicate the results are all covered.

Cindy Shebley has the know-how and she's sharing it for the benefit of all online sellers! Any online seller who's been using these tricks for years is going to be disappointed to find their competition has just kicked it up a notch after reading this easy-to-understand and all-encompassing guide!"
