Preference Settings CS3

Dateline 16th April 2007
Two more 'How-To' Techniques added:

How to create a 'Diffusion Blur & Glow' effect - this is similar to the effect of 'sandwiching' two colour slides, both over-exposed, with one sharp and the other very out of focus, to create a romantic and mysterious glowing diffusion.

How to make a 'Digital Watermark Stamp' to place on you pictures to help prevent unauthorised copying images on your website.

Dateline: 25th March 2007
I've added a 'Donation' facility to my website on the 'Homepage'.

Many people have asked why I do all of this work for free? They also ask if they can support the site to ensure its continuity and expansion.

Well, yes, it does take time and effort and so far as I'm concerned it's great that people find the information of use and help. Of course it does cost something to keep the whole thing going - web space, hosting, network facilities, glitch sorting, beta testing, service charges and a host of other 'costs' (not to metion time and effort).

So you would like to make a contribution to the maintenance and future of this site, the 'Donation Button' is the way to do it - and my grateful thanks.

Dateline: 1st March 2007

In September 2006 I relocated my site to a new server and all should be 'invisible' from a 'users view'. However, if problems on the site are encountered, please let me know which pages are affected and I'll be 'on the case!'

For ease, you should ensure that the 'Bookmark' / 'Favourite' for my site is:

Many thanks.
