March 2007

On the Cover
This month our mission is to provide you with as many Digital Darkroom tips and tricks as possible. For example, Philip Andrews illustrates that you can do more with layers than just make composites, while Steve Bedell clues you in on a triple combo that is sure to speed up your current workflow. Additionally, we have an exclusive First Look at Adobe's Photoshop CS3. As a bonus, Jon Sienkiewicz provides buying tips for purchasing an imaging notebook computer, which really is an indispensable tool for photographers these days.
