    Redirect Google to new web store - htaccess and SEO

    Yes that suggestion can re-use your old site's traffic. But I don't think your new domain will have any rating if you specifically check the new name or rank in Google or Alexa. Site ratings are not transferable. If you want to specifically get a good rate on your new domain name, you will...

    .htaccess doesn't redirect links

    Agreed. The .htaccess file is meant for "pretty" links to your site's pages, e.g. instead of http://www.domain.com/content.html?x=bla&y=moreblasdjnlfknjflkjnflskfnsklgng, .htaccess may reslve that to http://www.domain.com/content/thatOneCoolPage. What you want is a simple redirect to home...

    Database Problem!

    Regarding your other question: You use indexes in order to enhance the performance of SQL queries on a table. Like in a book, an index helps the database engine find the correct data for a specific SQL query, by telling it where to find the row, based on a specific order. So before creating...

    Le Chrome. I used to be a Firefox fan for years, but when Chrome became faster and better plugin support, I switched permanently without even noticing.

    Happy New year to everyone from me, as well. What are all your plans for this year? Any cool projects coming up?

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    Tom, I definitely like that gradient background! That's a great way to make the subject pop out more. The face has some nice contrast / clarity now maybe a little too dark around that right eye, but overall the balance between the left and right side of the face is really great. Nicely done...

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    But the original lighting was anything but "decent". I should know, I took that snapshot. Having the camera-facing side so underexposed against a lighter background was just awful (though unavoidable, as I only had a split second to shoot it). But I have to say, looking at it again a second...

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    chris, I have to say, if I had to decide between your version and mine, I would not hesitate to choose mine, simply because it is a bit more stylized and putting the subject into the spotlight better. But that is really just my personal taste, and I suppose any client might have different...

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    Good point on the glass reflections, I wasn't sure about it at first, and then was just happy I was able to get rid of the reflection at all. Didn't even occur to me to keep some of it in. It took me quite a lot to get the shaded side of the face filled in without it looking too artificial. I...

    Work

    IT manager here. I find a huge portion of digital Photography enthusiasts are IT professionals. Probably has something to do with the combination of technology and an artistic outlet that we don't usually have in our "day lives". It's interesting to me how Photoshop is so much more to most...

    Studio Retouch

    I think this is pretty great. The little details chris pointed out notwithstanding, this is pretty well done. Unless you're blowing it up to larger scales, I think most clients would be pretty happy about this one.

    sun set bike

    I like how you got the colors adapted to the background scene. I think the front lighting on the bike sets it off too strongly from the surrounding, though. Do you think you could add some more shades so it looks like it's lighted from the back?

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    Alright, guys... how about a subject/object that is less... controversial. Same processing techniques, just a different original image which needed saving from the bad under-exposure. Although, of course the distance to the subject required slightly different dodge&burning. Also, the original...

    Monochrome Portrait Porcessing

    Yes I figured that's what you meant. I suppose the idea was to stylize it as bit more than a standard b&w edit would, and so going slightly stronger on the eyes was part of that overall look I was going for. But of course, that depends on the purpose of your edit. In my case, it was simply...
