In my opinion, it's a fallacy perpatrated by the publishing houses that digital photography is somehow different than film photography. They are one in the same. The techniques for film photography and digital are the same. Where digital is different from film is not in the taking of the image, but in the processing.

That said, I'd recommend that you get a good, solid photography book to set your photography foundation. A book like "Photography" by London and Upton (think it's up to 7th or 8th edition now) and/or "The Confused Photographer's Guide to Photographic Exposure and the Simplified Zone System" by Farzad.

Once you have a good base for photography and with the help of your camera's manual, you'll be able to then understand where -your- digital camera's exposure latitude lies (it will probably be somewhere between slide film and print film) and how to deal with it.

Now what you need to add to this knowledge for digital is how to correctly process your images. For that, go for books that are specifically for processing files. All in one digital photography books usually aren't worth the paper they're printed on. You usually either get good photography technique but poor processing information or vice versa. If you have photoshop, I'd recommend books like "Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby (they also make them for Photoshop 7 and I think 6) and/or "Photographers Guide to Photoshop" by Thomas.

I would also recommend reading up on color management and correction ideas and techniques. I liked "The Complete Guide to Digital Color Correction" by Michael Walker with Neil Barstow and "Real World Color Management" by Fraser, Murphy and Bunting.

What you're going to find though is that what can be really important is to find a book written in a way that you can personally understand. I've found many books that had good information, but the way it was presented just didn't work for me.

Good luck!
