The focus of this book is on the post-capture phase of photography. There are plenty of good books available on the art of photography that will help you capture great images. You should be aware before shooting, however, of a few considerations that affect your output and ability to work with your images. This chapter will introduce you to a few tips, and then go on to explain different file formats and the best time to use each. We’ll follow up this intro section with a look at how to import and browse your images using Bridge—the powerful browser software that ships with Photoshop.
