Thomas aka Raven_427 Has given us a wonderfful tutorial on "sharping your digital images using Photoshop 6.01." It is in pdf format and can be viewed by clicking the Resource Center link, located in the Information Box, on the top of the Photography Forum, and then clicking on the Tutorial link. Thanks so much Thomas for taking the time to share your talent with us :) Dee-Marie

i'm having a problem getting my PDF to open without freezing up... i'll get it eventually :p but if you see this Thomas... Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

If anyone else is having problems getting the pdf version to open - I can contact Thomas, and I am sure between the two of use we can create an HTML version of this tutorial as well :) Dee-Marie

Looks good and thank you Dee-Marie for posting and Thomas for doing it. Not had time to read it all yet. Had no probs downloading it, but it is quite a large file almost (500k) if you are on dial up.

Very informative....I can learn a thing or two from this. Cheers!

Hey, if even good ole Tedz is learning a trick, it cannot be all to bad :-). Thanks a lot for your feedback! Dear Cyn: still having problems? I'm using an older version of adobe acrobat .. but i don't have any idea on why this happens. Are you patient enough as this file is quite big? If you still have problems, please send me an email .. i'd be glad to send you another version directly. @LostPatrol: yep, it's to big. But removing the images, it will be a lot less understandable i thought? Do you recommend downsizing it or do you feel it's worth the size? Have a great day Tom

I don't know if this will help.. I just tried opening the pdf file and got an error.. But when I right click and went to "Save Target As" it work just fine.. I use phone line and it only took about 2 min.. Ed P

ok... i got it! :] (seems there was a tiny little window hiding behind all the other windows i had open asking if i wanted to upgrade acrobat... lol)
i do tend to mess with the unsharp mask a lot & "selective sharpening"
thank you again Thomas & Mel :]

It works fast here. Also I searched in Elements2 and believe a lot of it can be done in that too. Thanks.Gives me more to play with.

Raven_427 I think it is an acceptable size as it is. Good tutorial too. Personally I would leave it as it is. I agree that removing the images would have a detrimental effect on the overall tutorial Its difficult to say as I use a T1 connection. There are a few tricks in it that I can play about with. Thanks for doing it LP

don't think it was too big either :] (have 50.6kbps)

Thanks for all your feedback :-) @Dee-Marie: if you receive messages complaining about the size, please tell me. No prob to remove the images and give you an additional "small-size-edition". But the main download should remain the big one. Or - if you don't like that idea - a HTML-Version is an option. But as the images deliver the size, HTML will not be smaller.
