Summary: Good primer on images in GIS
Comment: The topics covered (panchromatic and color display,
3-dimension images, hypsometric coloring, shaded relief,
arcscan, introduction to remote sensing, map projection,
map coordinates, image rectification, image classification,
classification accuracy assessment, grid operations, etc.)
were easy to understand. I found the chapter on scanning
considerations especially useful. Tips on documentation
files and creating image-based slide shows were good ideas.
The only major complaint I have is that the tutorial part is
old-fashioned text based commands rather than a menu-interface.
Otherwise, I think many useful concepts are covered in the
book.

Summary: A good Arc-image primer
Comment: The book covers lots of ground... scanning density, grayscale versus binary versus color tradeoffs, getting scans to real-world coordinates, image enhancement, digital elevation models, image rectification, raster editing, etc.

Finally, I now understand exactly what is going on in the image rectification process!

I liked the idea of documentation files...tips like that have saved my butt many times...

Summary: Poor
Comment: I thought this book would help in the understanding of grid images and processing dem. Well, I was wrong. It does have some helpful hints, however, the book if full of errors includiong spelling and commad line errors. Either the editor did a poor job or the writer was not very into it when compiling this book. If you want the basic understanding of processing digital images this is a good book. However, I do not recomend this book do to the ammount of errors in it. I found missing steps, and inaccuracies in the processes.
