We maybe living in a world that is technologically
advanced, but in every avenue of life one is
inundated with a number of myths. Most experts feel
that those who get carried away by the myths are
either far to naοve or then simply lack
intelligence. Whatever maybe the situation, one
needs to clarify the myths and bring people into the
know-how of their ignorance.
Given here are the common myths about digital
photography, along with a clarification for each:
A digital photograph is not better than a film
photo: The fact is that a digital photographer has
more control over the kind of digital output he is
generating and so the images tend to be better.
Also, after clicking the pictures the digital
photographer downloads the images onto a computer
and further enhances them with the image editing
software, which is not possible with the film
images.
The digital cameras are big, bulky and heavy:
There are a wide variety of cameras. While there are
the heavy and rough-use options for the professional
photographers, there are the small and light options
with up-to-the-mark functions for the amateurs and
general photographers. These cameras also produce
optimum image quality.
Digital cameras are slow to function: Initially,
the digital cameras were slower than the film
cameras. But over the years, manufacturers have been
able to create faster machines. And today, speed is
not a matter of concern, so to speak.
Digital photography is an expensive option: This
was a matter of concern in the initial stage.
However, today, digital photography is getting
cheaper with each passing year. And the matter of
convenience over the old-fashioned film processing
photography tends to override the cost factor.
Transferring pictures to a computer is a long
process: This is not true. In fact, the USB or
FireWire memory card reader definitely makes for
rapid transfers to the computer. There are cards
that transfer 3-4 JPEG photos of high resolution
within a second.
It is difficult to view and edit digital images:
In fact, the image editing software are easy to use.
Even children learn how to use these very easily.
It is difficult to print digital images: These
images can be printed at home
is that really
difficult?
The digital image prints are not as good as prints
from film images: One cannot actually tell the
difference between the two, where print quality is
concerned, as the paper and ink for printing is the
same.
It is difficult to organize and store digital
images: There are software that help organize files
and folders, as well as caption each image.
