Thus far in the Interactive Guide to Digital Photography you've learned about:

	the digital cameras in general and how to use the features and functions of your particular model
	your personal computer, how it stores information, and how to use Windows Explorer to organize and manage your digital images.

Here in the Photo-Editing Section of the Guide, you will learn the fundamentals of enhancing the quality and presentation of your pictures.

More importantly, you will be armed with the knowledge and vocabulary necessary to go on to a more advanced study of the subject if that's your inclination.
