On the Cover
You're in for a treat this month with our digital darkroom sampler. We explore a variety of products from display to output, including X-Rite's ColorMunki, Apple's Aperture 2.1, Adobe's Lightroom 2.0 Beta, and Projet's inkjet papers. In addition, we have digicam, D-SLR, and medium format D-SLR test reports. Our cover image of a moonrise over Monument Valley was taken by Ferrell McCollough. To see more of his HDR images, turn to page 83.
