Print extras for May/June 2010 posted
The May/June issue of Photoshop Elements Techniques should start mailing to subscribers this week. When your issue arrives, don’t forget to check out the extras for the issue on the website.
The extras include sample files for Matt Kloskowski’s “Wipe Glare from Glasses” tutorial, so you can follow along. We also have two extras for Diana Day’s “Filmstrip Photo Collage” project: a downloadable custom shapes file and one of Diana’s great sample and resource articles.
Remember that it can take up to three weeks for the postal systems around the world to get your issue to you, so please don’t get too impatient. We would love for everyone to get them all on the same day, but I can’t control the Post Office! We’ll make sure we post the full issue as a PDF in the next week.
Update (May 18): The magazine page for the May/June 2010 issue is now live. You can download the entire issue as a PDF from there, if you’re still waiting for it to show up in your mailbox.

Pass the Cookies?
Is there a way to save favorites where they don’t get deleted when cookies are deleted? I like to delete cookies for security reasons and it deletes the favorites. Are there other options for the website to save favorites or can it be something to consider? I can’t be the only one that likes to delete cookies.
By the way, I do like the new look, but kind of miss the ability to scroll down the list of videos. I wonder if the old list could be a ‘printable’ page/link on the website? I knew where the videos I used most were located on the long list as well as recognizing the icon for the video.
Cheers from 60 miles below! (Salem)

Ronald,
What you can do to delete the cookies is to go to tools>internet options you will get a dialogue box there you will see Browsing History then all you have to do is delete that will delete your browsing history and your cookie that will not delete your favorites.

Ronald…here is a little tip for you. Get the software called “Snagit” (available at http://www.techsmith.com). This software enables you to copy all (or part of a webpage, or anything else for that matter), and save it to view and edit in any format you wish. What I have done to accomplish what you wish to do, is to copy and print the thumbnail pages of the entire PET video catalogue, which I may refer to whenever I wish You will find a million uses for “Snagit” which I believe sells for less than 50 dollars.

If you are on a newer Windows platform, you can also use the Snipping Tool included in Vista and Windows 7 for screen capture. It is free (included with your OS purchase) and gives you a few options that may fit your needs. I have also used Snagit and it performs very well with a multitude of options to suite every level of user. Snagit has come a long way since I first used it several years ago. Kudos to Clark for recommending this very useful software.

The entire May/June issue of the PET magazine was quite good. Ben Long’s article ‘Fun with Panoramas’ was quite comprehensive and will prove instructive to all working with this technique; I appreciate my thoughts and image on the ‘macro-panorama’ side being included.

Regarding Matt Kloskowski’s tutorial to remove glare from someone’s glasses, he takes a photo, then asks the subject to remove their glasses, and then he takes another photo. Basically he is working with two different images, one with glasses and the other without. What if you don’t know you have a glare problem until the image is downloaded into the computer? Is there a tutorial on how to remove glare if only one image exists?

You can try Dave Cross’s Fixing Glasses Glare video, which shows a way to try and eliminate glare when you’ve shot one image.
It’s hit or miss; if you have glare/reflection in both lenses, it’s hard to eliminate without some extensive editing.
