		| | I have been working on an Introduction to Photoshop web site for a while - A series of articles especially for people who have little or no experience with Photoshop, but who are wanting to learn. 
 So far, I have tutorials on the following topics:
 
 - Colour correction
 - Contrast
 - Filters
 - Opening files
 - the Tool palette
 - Resizing images
 - RGB and CMYK colours
 - Saving files
 - Straightening an image
 - Unsharp Mask
 - Vector and Bitmap graphics
 - Working with Layers.
 
 I am planning to do a tutorial on how to make borders around images as well.
 
 Also, I am planning to split each tutorial into two categories: One part for beginners, and one advanced.
 
 The question is; Am I missing any sections? And is there a need for such a page?

		| | Hurrah ! Just what I need. I have some Q about Photoshop you can answer in your pages. (1) I want to know how to create a solid colour around a person's photo [over the background] and then make that colour transparent so the original background is gone. The resulting graphic could be used on a web page which has a background photo. The person's (or pet's) picture would appear against the background but wouldn't look rectangular.
 (2) How to make attractive wording using various fonts that can be applied against a background on a web page (similar to item 1 above) -- but using very small file size so the page won't take long to load.  (3) Any info about improving our own digital photos using Photoshop.
 
 As you can see, I can design web pages BUT don't have a clue how to make attractive graphics and lettering for them.

 If you had seen my web page, you'd know that Neither Can I ;) But I'll do my best covering that as well. Thanks for the tips!

		| | EXCELLENT!!  I look forward to seeing your site and trying to figure out how to do what I don't understand.  What will the address be?  Is it photocritic.org like listed on the post?  Thanks for helping us out! |

		| | As you could tell from my other post, I definately would use such a web page, and I think it is a perfect idea! Let me know when you have it up and running!

 Yeh, it'll get a separate section on that website... As a matter of fact, the section (photography articles) is already there, with some of my articles:
 
 //www.photocritic.org/?page=articles&id=photoindex
 
 However, the new set of articles will probably get a different form factor. I am considering whether I should HTML them, or make them available as PDF, so they can be printed and used as reference. What do you guys think? Or should I do both?

		| | I would find this sort of education to be of great value.  So, please continue and we will add subjects as things progress.  Maybe you can offer a suggestion pertaining to my thread on EXIF problems in PS7? |

 I personally prefer HTML; faster to read online. If you offer PDF, could you hv the same in HTML first ?
 
 BTW, I tried your URL to photocritic.org but it hasn't worked for me yet. Site is always unavailable.
