I wonder if anyone else have had trouble with the tutorials from www.phong.com.

They are very good but there are some broken links. At the bottom of the first page there is a selection to ‘Designs by Mark’, and ‘Misery in Motion’. There is also an opportunity of adding your email at the bottom of the third choice which is ‘Eyeball Design’ but that will come up with an error message.

I have tried to write to the postmaster of the site and now also the webmaster. The postmaster came back with an error message about failed delivery – I am awaiting the other – suppose the will be the same result. Shame as it is such a good site that you feel like helping.

Using Google I have found a reference to the errors and tried that. Like the choice I forgot to mention, it seems to flash a message on the screen and that is all – no output at all. The unmentioned choice does exactly that and if you backspace you get a chance to read 1 more word – I have done that a few times and worked out that I need Flash installed. There is an href to the downloading of that program but you cannot reach that in the 1/5 of a second it stays on the screen.

I have downloaded the latest Flash reader from Macromedia and installed it to be used with Netscape but it has not altered anything. Somewhere in Netscape I read that the Reader allready was installed.

Any (nice) suggestions ?

I couldn’t even enter the site, and won’t bother trying. There are many other tutorial sites.

Hi there, Borge!
I’m thinking that site has been pretty much abandoned. I have had trouble off and on getting on it and have been considering putting it on my "Another site bites the dust" page.

Whybother is right that there are many other great tutorial sites for PS. I have about 250 of them in my Photoshop Resource Links. www.myjanee.com
Always me, Janee

Yes you are probably right. I have tried to connect to them without success. However if I had written something as good as that, I would have liked a bit of feedback but then you know that.

One of the good things about the page is that when he contructs a layer, it is immediately named and that stops a lot of confusion.

Thanks for the information. I shall have a go at your new tutorials. Maybe get one done today. For that purpose I initiate notebook and I shall make notes I feel I am left drifting 🙂

As a recent poster suggested, the following link provides an excellent list of tutorials, excluding sites by pretenders and self promoters such as you.

Now who’s calling whom a self-promoter? I yam what i yam… and i do what i do. Part of what i do is to write good tutorials aimed at beginning and intermediate users of Photoshop/Elements. Another thing that I do is to point my site’s visitors in the direction of other worthwhile resources, in case they want something other than what I can provide. No one can do it all, and i don’t "pretend" to.

It’s a big world, Stephen, with lots of room for helpful PS sites. Always me, Janee

Haven’t you noticed. He posts using different addresses. Obviously a troll. I’d just kill file him if I were you Janee 😉

I’m NOT Stephen, and that is NOT my site. Look in the archive and you will notice that myjanee took every opportunity to promote her own site and book here.

The question is "Whybother" with you Stephen? You keep posting your own site while "pretending" not to be a self-promoter.
Grow up and we’ll welcome you to adulthood. Until then, "play nice."

Yes, although you might want to jump right to the tutorials ( http://www.phong.com/tutorials/ ) and bypass the silliness on the first three pages.
