The February-March issue of Digital Photography + Design is out this week.

The new issue is packed with summer photo tips, in-depth image-editing tutorials, camera reviews, inspiring images, competitions and more.

Nathan Duff kicks off our How To section with a brilliant Photoshop tutorial demonstrating in simple steps how to turn a photo into a comic book illustration. Turning a picture of a friend into a new kind of superhero, Nathan proves you don’t need to be an accomplished illustrator to create your own comic strip characters.

Mark Galer is back with another inspiring collection of image-editing advice, this time explaining how to add rich background textures to your images and mimic the look of old-school cross-processed film.

Peter Wear assembles 10 great Photoshop tips with gems to help you retouch portraits, work faster with Actions, take control of layers, get sharper images and more.

If you’ve ever thought about setting up a home studio Andrew Fildes examines some of the basic kits on offer, as well as a few of the more powerful and capable units. You might be surprised at just how affordable and easy it is to get started.

Also in this issue, you’ll find a review on the new Sony NEX-7. One of the big surprises of late has been the new directions taken by designers of compact, interchangeable-lens cameras. The whole idea was amazing enough a couple of years ago and the little beasts have captured a large chunk of the consumer and enthusiast markets. Now, along comes the NEX-7, a camera that could be regarded as the first compact with a claim to be a truly professional-grade model. Twenty-four megapixels, three-wheel operation and a built-in OLED very-high-definition viewfinder. This camera may bring a number of serious photographers into the compact arena, especially if they own Sony lenses.

Our cover story profiles leading landscape photographer Josh Holko, best known for his stunning images of icebergs and glaciers. Holko travels the world in search of beautiful images and he shares some fantastic tips on what it takes to create a memorable photo.

Join our photo competition for the chance to win a new camera, check out what the digital doctor has to say about the latest collection of readers‘ images and compare the latest cameras in our Digital Buyer's Guide.
