Color Management Primer - By Ian Lyons
Photoshop 5.0, which was launched back in the early summer of 1998, was the first version of Photoshop to offer a truly color managed workflow. At the time it received mixed reviews, some liking the new device-independent color management system and others loathing it, some thought it over complex and others an unnecessary restriction on their preferred way of working. In some respects the reaction was to be expected, after all some folk don't like change. Anyway, I think it's fair to say that for better or worse Photoshop 5.0 changed the way we thought and worked with color at application level.

About Digital
Digital photography, as opposed to film photography, uses an electronic sensor to record the image as a piece of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film. Digital cameras now (2005)
outsell film cameras, and include features not found in film cameras such as the ability to shoot video and record audio. Some other devices, such as mobile phones, now include digital photography features.

Choosing a Computer System for Digital Imaging
This article discusses what you need to consider when choosing a computer system for digital imaging work. Digital imaging, in this context, is defined as getting a still photograph into a computer and preparing that photograph for printing.
If you are shooting with digital cameras you can skip the section on scanners. This article will discuss general principles in choosing a system, but will not delve into specific hardware recommendations.
Computer hardware is evolving rapidly. What is state of the art today will be off the market in nine months.
Digital camera cleaning
Dust happens, and anyone who uses a digital SLR camera will eventually need to clean their camera's image sensor.
You should be aware that when we talk about cleaning the image sensor we are actually talking about cleaning the image sensor's glass cover.
There is legitimate concern about scratching this glass, since any mark on it will show up on every image captured by the camera, but the dangers are often overstated.
This glass is no more easily scratched than a lens element or a high quality filter.
The best chance of scratching it happens when a piece of hard grit gets trapped in a cleaning tool and is wiped across the glass cover.
This is why it is important to keep all cleaning tools clean and blow any loose particles off of the sensor with air before cleaning by any method that uses wiping.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. -Ansel Adams
