Each time I go to the library I always get books on digital Photography. I bought myself a Kodak easy share C433 from Walmart back a 2 years ago. Do you think that I will be good at Digital Photography?
If you really want to advance to the next level and are serious about improving your pictures, then you need to stop separating "digital photography" from "photography." You need to learn as much as you can about basic photography. Stop reading books about Photoshop and start reading books about basic photography to improve your understanding of exposure and composition. Also, you really need a camera with completely manual settings. Your camera is just a basic point and shoot camera. That's fine for snapshots, but for real photography you need a camera that lets you change the aperture and shutter speeds yourself. Otherwise, you won't be able to use real photographic techniques and you're pretty much just stuck. You have very little control with a digital point and shoot camera. Everything is on auto and you can't change the shutter speed or f-stop manually.
I would normally tell people that they need a completely manual film camera to learn about photograpy…but if you're dead set on digital, that means you need a digital SLR camera.
In the mean time, read more about basic photography and understand elements like the aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, composition, etc. And you need to understand how to use the right lighting, and how to adapt to different lighting conditions. Also, read about what's called the "Sunny 16 Rule." It's a guidline for how to use manual exposure outside. Once you have a better understanding of the basic elements and techniques of photography, then your pictures will improve.
