You might be able to control the suspend / unsuspend feature using the bios setup of the lap top. Another option is to disable it from windows,
if you got it installed.

A while ago I installed openSuse 11.0 on my laptop and I'm actualy very pleased about it, but there is something I'd like to change but I can't seem to find a solution for it. If mylaptop is suspended and the lid is closed, it unsuspend when I open the lid. Now, it's nothing realy bad, but it's something I don't want (because sometimes I just want to put a piece of paper on the keyboard so I won't forget it).So, what file do I need to alter to prevent this from happening ?

If you can get over with the initial confusion gimp will turn out to be a good choice. Its user interface is not the most intuitive one.
The best is to get an introduction from a gimp user; if not from one of those training videos.

I have Gimp and it's really confusing. But then I'm very simple and un-technical. Any suggestions for simpeler equivilents?

how does this new web page maker V2 compare to dreamweaver 9? Does it support flash embedding? Has anyone in this forum got any good experience with it?

For a simple introduction and tutorial check out zitag.com
They do have tutorials on all aspects of web development.

can someone help me learn CSS or give me a good link to learn it

What kind of errors? can you be more specific?
The latest version works fine on linux and windows

I used it but it gave only errors. :mellow:But i stil like it, its like free photoshop with less features.

What version of gimp are you using?
In the latest version, the defaults options will just be fine. You can change the quality, but don't use the
progressive option for jpeg compression. Try no compression for tiff.

Hi all you gimp users.
I am wondering if you are experiencing problems with your images created in GIMP as I am. We here is my story. I take pictures with a camera and upload them to my computer with a the camera software. Nothing is changed yet. Then I go to that file location and open the image or a copy of the image with GIMP. Then i edit it, add layers, and tweak various settings before saving it to .XCF (native GIMP format). Then later I was to export it. I do so as JPEG or TIFF.

The problem is whatever I create/modify in GIMP, I seem to have trouble opening it back up in my image management program or other Microsoft products. I know there are all kinds of settings when it comes to saving/exporting to a specific file format. What I would like to know is if you are experiencing any issues like this and what you do to circumvent them. It seems like I have to save the image with all kinds of settings just to get it to open. The reason this is bugging me and I've stopped taking/editing pictures for a while is because my image management program doesn't like the GIMP's JPEG(s). The files corrupted my image management database. So I'm kind of like sitting on the side of the road (not doing any photo editing) right now. I need to back up my images and reorganize them before I do/take on anymore photo editing projects. I think I need to sift through +60 GB of photos.

Here is one theory that might affect compatibility. GIMP and an option that says save EXIF data. I'm wondering if this is the actual EXIF data from the camera, GIMP modified EXIF data, or GIMP's EXIF meta data.

The TIFF data is also acting quirky when I try to pull it up in other programs. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Another problem I'm experiencing is printing problems, but I think that is another topic. TBA

Just a clarification.When you say that 'professional hand coding service is the way to go' do you mean to say that you
do the work without using any of the modern tools? I would have assumed that a service like PSD2HTML will use some
form of batch processing to get the conversion done in a efficient way.


Hi there,

As a PSD2HTML.com representative let me add some comments on the topic discussed.

When you have your design files ready and it comes time to sit down and write the HTML code for your new site, you have two choices: to use a WYSIWYG editor (such as Dreamviewer, ImageReady or Photoshop itself) or hire someone to do it right, to convert your design to a professional, valid markup.

While using a WYSIWYG editor to generate the code for you may be an attractive option, it will not give you the best end result. Let me make this point clear.

First of all, the HTML code generated by several editors may not be compliant with existing web standards which are typical for the modern professional web-development. Secondly, WYSIWYG editor produces files of large sizes what can not guarantee fast load time for your users. Thirdly, any automatic tools simply do not provide enough support and help in optimizing your pages for search engines, what reduces the chances of having your web site ranking highly for your targeted keywords. Finally, you have your page looks just like your design did, but does it work in all browsers?

It`s good to use WYSIWYG editors, however, if you want to save your time and plan to produce high-quality product – professional hand coding service is definitely the way to go.
