No matter how skilled we become in practising our favourite pursuits, we can always acknowledge that we have lost some of the basic learning that was so essential in getting us to our present state.

Digital imaging in scanners, cameras, and photo editors is a complex subject, and a little refresher course may well suit each and every one of us occasionally. Cornell University offers this on-line tutorial that could be the starting point for rediscovering lost information that will make our present activities more rewarding. It is also an excellent starting point for anyone new to the subject. There will be content that is superfluous to requirements and some you just won't understand. But overall, the experience will be rewarding.

The tutorial is also available as a PDF file of 138 pages and only 3.8 MB. Both PDF and HTML files require an Internet connection to be interactive, but even without interaction the tutorial is good.  Start by going to the Cornell University Library. You will not be disappointed.
