"This is the second edition of this book and it comprises five chapters covering equipment, processing, comparison and measurement, and the presentation of evidence. It covers the basics of all of these subject before progressing to more advanced techniques. The descriptions … and the examples given are clear and aid the reader in understanding the lesson. This book is a good overview of the technical side of forensic photography for those of us who have little experience … useful for those with more experience." – CSEye, November 2017, a publication of the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences, UK"Forensic Uses of Digital Imaging, Second Edition … is highly technical and the text does a good job of breaking this down to a more readily understandable level. It covers a number of topics … important for a forensic photographer to understand to be truly competent in today’s world of complex technology … not addressed in detail in other reference books."—Brian Kohlhepp, Detective Division, Ross Township Police Department, Pittsburgh, PA, USA; published in Forensic Science Review, January 2018
