| 251445 | 2004-07-11 00:56:00 | I'm using Photoshop Elements to make a gallery of photographs for posting on my website. According to the manual, "After creating a photo gallery in Photoshop Elements, you can customize the Web pages in any Web page authoring program..." Great idea, and it's what I want to do - but I find that when I try to save changes after adding text to a page containing thumbnails, all the thumbnails disappear and the links are lost, and the only way I can get them back is to DOWNload the relevant folder from my website to replace the one that got screwed up. I'm using Netscape Composer - please don't tell me to use a more sophisticated program, I'm a newbie! Any help or suggestions much appreciated. |

| 251447 | 2004-07-12 02:31:00 | Does your program output (save) an html file somewhere on your hard-drive, along with the images it uses? I don't know the progs you're using but it sounds like a linking issue, or the html code that the program turns your gallery into is flawed, and gets re-written when you get your page from your host (web site). If you keep getting problems with it, send the images, links and text to me and I'll put it together for you and email it back to you. It's probably best if you fault-find it yourself - that way you learn :) John |

| 251448 | 2004-07-12 03:26:00 | Firstly, it would be a good idea to save a copy of your webpage to your hard drive before working on it in case you muck things up in a major kind of way . Secondly, I have never used Photoshop Elements so I am not familiar with the way that it creates a gallery of photos for websites but it sounds to me as though your graphic links are absolute and pointing to the files on your hard drive rather than where they are uploaded to for your webpage . If your graphic links look something like this: C:\Documents\Web Pages\graphics\main\image01 . gif then they will need to be changed to something like this: graphics/main/image01 . gif so that the path is "relative" rather than absolute . > I'm using Netscape Composer - please don't tell me to use a more sophisticated program, I'm a newbie! If you are going to do this fairly often I would suggest that you learn at least a little of the basics of webpage creation (it isn't that difficult) and use a webpage authoring program such as 1stPage2000 (http://www . evrsoft . com/) to make it a little easier for you . If you need more help, just ask . :-) |
