On the Cover
What's on the photo horizon? The answers as posed by our writers may surprise you. Aside from looking into the future, we show you how to prevent and cure dust problems with your D-SLR sensor. We also show you how to take control of your print quality with a special workflow guide. In addition, we've provided you with a gift guide of the best photo/digital books of the year for the photographer in your life or as a way for you to drop a hint to those who may not know what you want this year.
