Categorised Links


Welcome to the Photoshop and related links page. Here you can find selected URL's from my favourite bookmarks to various Photoshop and prepress related articles and websites. It is recommended that you explore the other pages at the sites linked below - as these links are subject specific and many of the sites have excellent information on other topics that may also be of interest. 

The links are categorized for quick access. Each link will automatically open in a new browser window. Some links are direct links to Adobe Acrobat PDF documents, QuickTime .mov files or to compressed archive formats (.zip, .sit etc). Note that the 'head -' of each link is a direct link to the hosting sites main page, while the 'tail' of the link is to the specific topic in question. 

If a link has expired, copy and paste the URL into the "Way Back Machine" found at the Internet Archive site and you may be in luck to find an archive of the data (then perhaps make your own archive for personal storage). Another option is to visit Google and enter the URL as a search entry. The Google server may have a cached version of the missing web page.
