Hi, I finally discovered how to make the pages smaller in Mozilla Firefox. Hurray! Hurray! I’m really enjoying your new site. I’m trying out the new tuts & that’s lots of fun.
Will you be having the new Elements Beginners, etc. back on soon? I miss it!
Thanks!

What tutorials I have down loaded so far I have found to be very helpful. I am really glad that I signed on as a subscriber for your library of past articles is most extensive and in time I hope to avail myself of all of them.

I am using Elements 6 and have been working on this tutorial for hours now and I cannot achieve the same effect as in the video. The problem seems to be the drop shadow, it creates a flat box not a shadow and no 3-d effect. Help.

I couldn’t get the same 3-d look either. But I’m happy enough with my finished image (original from the web).. Here’s my effort: http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m539/Blanco111/Photoshop%20Elements%208/Stumbling-Blocks-1.jpg
