"This tutorial are for those that have Photoshop CS2.

Smart Objects

Now, have you ever duplicate some of the images and work on the copy so that in case if anything happen to the copy you could always fall back to the original image?

Let's say you wanted to resize a image to a smaller dimension, normally in Photoshop resizing a image will destroy the original pixel. So when you resize it back to original size it will be pixilated because of the destroyed pixel information when you resize.

But when you applied smart objects to a layer, this will not happen. Why not? Check this out and more of what the new photoshop cs2 smart objects can do to save your time.

Check the video tutorial @ http://xeler8r.com/lessons/pscs2/s_objects/index.html


This is really useful to me as I tend to keep a lot of original image and worked on the copy because I change my mind a lot LOL. Enjoy!"

General interface suggestions

"Regardings the getElementById there shouldn't be any errors on IE6 as I have tested it myself on WindowXP and Window2000 and the errors are not there anymore. There is a slight error in one of the javascript which I have fixed just now. It could be that error that causes the getElementById error to come out.

Btw, document.getElementById is supported in
- IE 5 and upwards
- all Gecko-based browsers
- Safari
- Konqueror
- Opera

The codes you have suggested is used for compatibility on the earlier version 4 of IE and Netscape. This site won't displayed correctly on those browser either due to their quirky CSS support. Thanks anyway :)

If there is still problem, please tell me what OS and browser you are using."

i faced this problem recently... i could not view this page when i'm in college using the local area network (LAN), or the wireless network... why is that so? does this page can only be view if i'm using the dail-up connection? please help me... TQ :)

You mean you cannot view the page at all or is just text and links? If its the first, it could be your collage firewall. I'm viewing this fine on my office where there is a firewall and my dailup at home."

Userpage customization tutorials

3 years 4 weeks ago

"Okay guys.... and to those than have created their userpage on the new css (I'm impressed!) here is something I'm sure most of you have been looking for. You'll need Photoshop to do this though.

HOW TO CHANGE THAT SHADOW COLOR IN THE THUMBNAILS?

The Fake Offset PSD
Now, this PSD is the one that create the fluffy look on the edge of the shadow. Though this only can be seen in firefox since it is PNG, for IE it would appear just as a block.

There is 3 layers there.
Layer 2 = This is a helper background that help you to see the offset.
offset png = Now this is the layer you need to change, change your color to match your userpage background in the color overlay filter which have been applied.
offset gif = Same also as above.

Now, 1st round hide Layer 2 and offset gif so you left only with the offset png. Save this as a 24-bit PNG fille. Do the same for the offset gif but save it in GIF format this time.


The Shadow PSD
This is the shadow PSD. There are 2 layers:

BG = This is your BG color of your userpage, again like the fake offset change the color through the color overlay filter.
shadow = This is your shadow color, change the color like above.

Save this as a GIF file. Now that you have both file, its time to host it somewhere and edit your CSS. Okay...

Before that I explain this method. Notice how the shadow fits all kind of image dimension? How come the shadow and the fake offset dimension are so large? Ok... pretty simple... Try holding out your hands with 2 fingers doing the "L" shape and crisscross it like a rectangle like you would try to capture something. Now slide your hand in and out, so see it now?

ok now the CSS!

Look under LAYOUT section and look for image-div layout styles.

Now change the shadow image url..

.image-div {
background: url(http://www.animepaper.net/css/img/shadow.gif) no-repeat bottom right;
position: relative;
float: left;
margin: 5px 0 5px 10px !important;
margin: 5px 0 5px 5px;
z-index: auto;
}

And then change the fake-offset image...

.image-div div {
background: url(http://www.animepaper.net/css/img/fake_offset.png) no-repeat left top !important;
background: url(http://www.animepaper.net/css/img/fake_offset.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding: 0px 5px 1px 0px;
}

Now there is a !important hack I put here, to read more about it see one of the comment I posted at here.. http://ttethys.animepaper.net/

DONE! I've done all the hard work for ya all already. A bit hard to pick up than last CSS (okay, a lot more LOL), but its worth to pick it up. I'm going to create my userpage and to show that you are not only fixed to this layout. Oh, you can also try to mess with the others properties such as the border:

.image-div img {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
padding: 4px;
}

Enjoy! I hope it is understandable :P"

"I realize that problem haha... its a script behind that helps IE to simulate the dropdown list. But the it gets error because the element could only be found on gallery. I'll figure out a better way to put that.

EDIT: The IE script error bug has been fixed."

Userpage customization tutorials

3 years 1 month ago

"Ok guys, this are some really useful (well at least when the new layout is out XD) tips on better use of CSS selectors/elements for design.

Read this: http://juicystudio.com/article/div-mania.php

How well you select the CSS rules are the key to next userpage/global AP layout design. I'm going to eliminate most of the tables and unnecessary markup in the new layout XD. Take note not all of the things are supported in IE like the Adjacent Sibling Selectors and Attribute Selectors (These two are quite advance and will be replace by a better way in CSS3, so you can safely ignore this).

New layout will be using a lot of this:
- The Universal Selector
- The Type Selector
- Grouping Selectors
- The Class Selector
- The ID Selector
- Descendant Selectors

So if you want to modify the layout completely and not just changing colors I suggest you know those above. XD"
