My work on Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with website development and CSS tutorials has been going well, but I have not been able to do much in the way of picture restoration during the process. Also I have been neglecting the need for more Adobe Photoshop tutorials. That seems to be the biggest traffic producer with Adobe Flash right behind it. I will try to concentrate on those tutorials more.
If the visitors of my website have any suggestions on what they want to see or things they haven’t been able to find anywhere else. I may have the knowledge to solve the problem and write a tutorial about it for you. If not, I can do some research and find the answer for you.

I have now decided to start my picture restoration series of tutorials. My gallery of photos of use come from my families 50th Anniversary slideshow that I constructed for them. It is always good to have pictures to fix that are old and have detered from age and exposure from sunlight. Picture restoration is a big ticket item and it cost a good amount of money to have it done to actual pictures. Fortunately, we will show you a way to have it done on digital pictures. This way you can fix your old family photos with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Since the unveiling of the first level of the website building tutorial and the 50th anniversary celebration, I have decided to focus on these two things for the next month. The new year is coming quickly and people are trying to prepare themselves to make a big change in their lives. I want to be able to help them in anyway that I can. Furthermore, the website building will be expanded within the next month and given away for free on the homepage of this website. It will be more thorough and go over more options than before. The variety of Adobe programs used will increased as well. I spoke of these in previous posts specifically.
Since the day of my grandparent’s 50th anniversary celebration, I have concluded that their old photos would be a great way for me to show some of the skills needed to restore old photos back near their original luster. The process can be easy or it can be extremely hard. That all depends on the level of detail and time that you would want to put into a project such as that. I have been given a large amount of scanned photographs to work on for my project. I will do my best to present them too you in a fashion that will help you learn a thing or two.
Please return to see the future developments of these products as Adobe Software Tutorials brings you the most up to date graphical and web design tutorials online for free.

Hello Adobe Software Tutorials Visitors,
Today, I was giving the honor of developing the 50th anniversary slideshow for my grandparents. The database of pictures went back to the 1930s up until now. I didn’t particularly put them in that order because that was not the real importance. The hard part was all the differences in the pictures in quality and size. Many were cracked in half or discolored yellow. I used a varying amount of Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Microsoft Powerpoint to control the slides simply. After being given permission, it seems I will have a large amount of pictures to use to show some restoration techniques and other Adobe image editing techniques. I was running low on non-copyrighted photos. Who wants pictures of themself all over the place anyway. The particular pictures I worked on are below, but their were over 200+ of them in different conditions.


Maybe in the near future you will learn enough from my website and other resources like mine to help your family celebrate a great occasions such as this. As for now, I must get back to work to prepare for the celebration today. I will be back to update you later on new developments. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday next week!

I have now completed my short tutorial on building a website. Of course the website structure that I used is my own. It is best to show people a design they are familiar with and give them answers to how you did things. From there you can make changes the way you like and develop your own website development flavor. With the use of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 it is much easier to make these visualizations appear on the screen. The tutorial starts with a description of the CSS and shows you the different parts of its normal usage. Then it describes how it is implemented into the HTML to make a clean cut webpage. You can view this tutorial here AST Build a Website Tutorial.

I stated in the previous post that a more robust and detailed build a website tutorial would be developed in the upcoming weeks. I have now started formulating what will need to be in this update version that will trump the tutorial version that is available on my website. It will be a pretty extensive tutorial, so it will not be available to view on the webpage itself. I will have it available for free download in pdf and Microsoft Word format for users to read. The new version will help break down the walls between the uses of Adobe Creative Suite 3 web development software. Web development techniques such as HTML, Flash, Javascript, PHP, Fireworks, Photoshop, and maybe even Illustrator will be used within the first free ebook developed by Adobe Software Tutorials (AST). Please remember to check in periodically for updates on its development. I am sure you will enjoy the new tutorials being written between that time. Remember to practice your Adobe knowledge daily so that you can unlease the Adobe guru in you!

I have now neared my completion of the photo capture part of the mini-tutorial for building a website for yourself using Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Fireworks. This tutorial seems to be one of the larger ones. I will have to split it up into portions. The first part will be the construction of the architecture of the website. This is built with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The second part is the actual website development in HTML.
I will be building a more robust version using Flash, Javascript, and some other great tools at a later time. Actually, it will be pretty soon. They will not become a tutorial immediately. It will be offered in a sort of mini-course where I can talk about things more openly and make it easier to read by making it downloadable on a different format. Stay tuned for more information. Keep your eyes open, you may discover your next great idea right around the corner.

After scurrying through the internet and seeing what good topics there would be for people to read about I stumbled upon an amazing fact. Many people would love to construct their own website just for the glorification of it. In the world of pre-fabricated websites it takes a certain someone to have the diligence to put forth the effort themself. I came upon this resolution over 8 years ago when I first started diving into the web programming world. Like everybody else, I was seeking information on how to improve my knowledge and skills. Of course, their are many websites out there claiming to have the biggest and best thing, but it was hard to find somebody who would lay it out there for a novice to understand. Rarely do people write correctly for the audience they are writing for. That is one reason I decided to use my skills to help bring some clarification to this confusing world called the Web.
To get to the point, I will be starting a major website tutorial for novices to get their hands dirty with HTML, CSS, Adobe Fireworks, and Adobe Photoshop. I will veer away from Flash and keep javascript to a minimum so that you are able to properly grasp the basics and move onto the the next step. Whatever that may be. I should have this done in 3-4 days for my audience to view. If you notice anything that is missing or could be done better, please don’t hesitate to email me so I can rework it. I am building this to help out my novice audience and if you believe that I could do something to make it better, I would really appreciate it. Once again, thank you for reading my blog and hopefully you will return to read even more great updates that are yet in store.

I recently was given the task to construct a 50th anniversary invitation cards for my grandparents. It was quite a pleasing task for me in reality. I was able to use some very cool stuff to make the card look cool in Adobe Fireworks and Photoshop CS3. However, they requested that I keep it simple because mostly old people would get getting the invitations. I guess I am just a little too flashy for my own tastes. I came up with 2 general styles for the invitation. One was made for a pre-constructed invitation that had two hearts at the top middle. So i made some space so I could write the happy couples name on either side to show how well intertwined they were. Somehow It didn’t meet my satisfaction, but I let them see it anyway. The other three files were done so you could print on just about anything. More than anything all I really did was make some nice text with (Vladimir Script) and write in vertical text (50th anniversary) beside the big picture of the happy couple. Below their picture I provided information on that subject with a smaller picture of them right after they got married 50 years ago! It is quite an amazing seen seeing people from that far back.
Maybe you will have this chance and also will provide stunning graphical design and then have it shot down because people need glasses. Have fun making your marvelous work of art. People will always appreciate your hard work and effort!
