We present a model based on the concept of saturation for small ${Q}^{2}$ and small $x.$ With only three parameters we achieve a good description of all deep inelastic scattering data below $x=0.01.$ This includes a consistent treatment of charm and a successful extrapolation into the photoproductio...
