Nice job though for what it does cover.

I'm not much up on Flash - but this was very easy to follow and showed a very neat effect that is easily transported for a customized animation. Well done!

Magic Wand is only really good for when you have definite differences between colors and tones. In most cases, it's not as hard and fast, and multiple selection tools are needed to get an accurate one. Also didn't see much mention of feathering. More details + fewer ads = better tuts CanonBlogger Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:56:32 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/25558/learn-to-merge-element-photo-pictures#comment-3275 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/25558/learn-to-merge-element-photo-pictures#comment-3275 Okay, but couldn't you have configured the video to pause on load? When opening a new tab or browser window, I am not sure many people enjoy autostarts on media files...just my 2 cents...the content of the tut is pretty good.

If you did this professionally, you would be fired. Best of luck to you and your lack of ethics - hopefully you'll learn to respect the work of others and not steal it.

I like the touch and effect. Good one!

The idea is good, but the delivery was disappointing for me.

It's good info, but missing a key step for optimal web performance, no?

Would have probably been better split up as a Part I through Part V, but that's just my preference for tutorials. This was more like a developing content chapter. Still...a highly useful set of info. Overall a great job of organization, and very well-versed. Good job!

On the flip side, you've not really deciphered it here...to me it's more of a copy/paste. With my own background I could "read" the code, but for me the tut falls a little short in explaining what the code is doing, and thus not really teaching as much. Again though, very useful scripting here, so thanks for sharing.
