Hello,
-My first try at creating a web-gallery..[other than Webshots] Could someone please tell me how to remove or edit the photos that the web-gallery in PSE2 whisked away from me when I created the album. I can’t even find a link to the site other than the one I thankfully created in Favorites at the start. I thought I had read somewhere about "digging into" a hard-drive to find the file for the editing capabilities and I believe the file is a /htm.index or something like that, this isn’t something I know much about yet. When creating the PSE gallery I was asked where to save the files and my only thought was "well.. don’t YOU know?!" I ended up saving in my BR PhotoArchiver folder-[which I’m still figuring out] Alot of photos that ended up on the site weren’t supposed to-[a bad ‘move to folder’ move] and I need to remove them.
The other issue I’m having is about the looks of the photo’s I discriminately pour over with fine tuning. My way of doing this continues to evolve as I learn but for now I’ve done this:
First: If the photo needs more light I [often] use the "overlay" feature with the foreground color set to a white color,[fill-flash can be a little harsh sometimes] this has produced nicely for alot photos and I can control what gets lit-up, and the settings are endless.
Red-eye’s fixed/sometimes have to "paint" in new eye-color. Next step is smoothing out skin tones/imperfections with the blur tool and thats about it. I experimented with the "save for web" place and found if I set my 1600×1200 jpg images to anywhere from a 450pix-width to 600px-width it looked great until I put those resized images on the Webshot site, as I viewed in "community" they either look like I hadn’t re-touched or "over-touched"-just not well executed.
The optimized photos on the "web-gallery" page actually kept their integrity pretty well but I still need to edit some of them out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I sure hope this isn’t confusing!-I’ve grown weary here..
