In this part ...
Going on a photo shoot is fun, and playing with Photoshop is a blast, but when can I have a print to hold in my hands or put in a frame or sell? Here ya go in this part. Read Chapter 16 to master managing your electronic photo files (tedious, yes, but necessary). Chapter 17 gets you to that all-important Print button as well as the prep work that gets you to that point. Then comes presenting the final product to the world (and to clients) — matting and framing your photo, which I cover in Chapter 18.
