Great !!!! I was hoping to inspire some guides. Thats the kind of stuff we're looking for, basic that most experienced users know but totally taken for granted. New builders need this stuff.

Ok there is a problem...

Blake knows about this, so now it's time for you guys to know.

I was about 65-70% done my Photoshop guide, and it was coming along beautifully - took a helluva lot of work - but was turning out awesome. So I leave for two hours to meet a friend, and I come home to see my entire personal folder messed around with. I had kept a backup of it, but that hard drive crashed, and I was actually going to format it for backup as soon as I got home (I was in a hurry). When I checked my Photoshop guide to actually do some more work on it, it was corrupt. It wouldn't open. No matter what I tried - system restore, restarting comp, safe mode, anything - the file's gone.

I'm actually completely enraged from the incident until this point in time, but there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. I feel really disappointed about not being able to get this guide out for you guys by the end of this month (it's literally simply impossible, considering it took a little over a month to get 70%). Obviously it's understandable to get pissed off for the hard work it took me to get there, but that doesn't matter to me as much as the fact I can't get it out for you guys.

The answer is yea...I'm going to start a new one - ASAP. But before I start a huge one, I'm going to start a mini-guide in a thread, and maybe update it with little tips and fragments of the HUGE guide. This will ensure:

a) you guys get information on a regular basis
b) my huge guide can't get lost to the point where I have nothing left

That seems to be the best way to go. I'll add good tips, procedures, and tricks. Also, we can have a pretty simple request system going on - like if there is something in particular within photoshop you'd like a guide on, I can make it. Rather than trying to generalize a huge guide, we can do it that way.

I'll have this thread and the first mini-guide up sometime next week.

Thanks guys, and sorry for all this,
Jon

I am going to post some reviews soon, and maybe a sync tip guide as well.

Here's my Official Photoshop Guides thread. Going to be adding to it soon.

ANYONE can add to the thread if they want - my goal is to put together a whole bunch of "mini-tutorials" on how to do certain things in Photoshop. For example, the first guide there is how to make a gradient. Things like that!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't found time to finish my HP iPAQ or 2 different headphone reviews. I am about 50% done the iPAQ one, so it should be ready to add to the forums.

Update: Why didn't you mods say this forum was moderated? I posted a review twice, but one the images don't work. Remove that one and keep/approve the other. TIA!

I just submitted a CPU lapping guide; should be up in a few, mod has to check it out. Should be a good read for a few of you.

Enjoy!
