Ken Cox Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Right on Rogera lot of work -- will you be leaving it up so that we can direct users to your siteorpossibly if you talk with Bill Hines he might allow you to post it or the link to your sitei didnt see it but possibly you might have mentioned that it is based on the user having Adobe Photoshop -- believe it or not everybody cannot afford that piece of software ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Roger:ThxI am in the process of preparing a Tutorial as well for use locally.I'll take a close look at yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContaxMan Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 1. although the opening page of the tutorial refers to using Photoshop or Elements, the rest is straight PTE. 2. It will be staying on the link given earlier for as long as people find it useful - and will be revised in line with any major changes Igor may make to the program.

Tim Z Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi RogerWhen I try to download the pdf file, I can only get about 2.5 kbs download speed. I have a fast cable connection that usually downloads between 100 to 300 kbs. Is there something about the site it is stored at that makes the download so slow?I cannot view the PTE101_ver2.exe on my system, so I thought this pdf file would be a good resource. Any chance you could email it to me? tzurowski@shaw.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRR Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Roger:I am not a computer whiz so I can''t help with an answer to the slow downlaod, but I can confirm Tim's note that it is a VERY slow download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cox Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 possibly there were too many downloads going on at one timemine was slow but it was no big problem -i always remeber dl'ding with my 33 modem - i just let it take its time coming across the pond -- maybe it had ice to contend with k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Z Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Roger, the link works fine for me, and is MUCH faster than previously. However, it did not give me an option to "Save" or "Open' the file. Instead, it just opened up into Adobe Acrobat; which is okay as you can then save the pdf file. It was likely 100 times faster this time. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I think the error is in the three dots after Re. If you amend "Re...es" to read "Resources" it opened for me the way Tim described.Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
