Gary's a graphic guru, known for superb computer graphics. Let him guide you through the terror and unknown (no, really, the way he tells it, it's simple and fun) of graphics on the web.

Graphics Tool Basics: There are more graphics programs than you can shake a stick at (and besides, when you think about it, what good does shaking a stick really do?). Digital artist Gary David Bouton sifts through the morass (no, that's not a dirty word, thank you!) for you, and helps you separate the wheat from the chaff (yes, yes, we mixed a metaphor, so sue us).

Getting Your Photos Web Ready - A picture's worth 1000 words, right? Well, for Gary David Bouton they're worth at least 3,000. But don't let that alarm you. Here he tells you the least you need to know to get the most out of photos on the web. First tip—always save in JPG format. It can instantly make the difference between a picture taking 40 seconds, or just six. Don't wait that long, "click" here and say cheese...

Image Retouching: better than real life - No, this article is not going to teach you how to make your grandmother look like Cindy Crawford (though for all you know she might have looked like her at one time—when's the last time you sat down with her and asked her about all the wild things she did when she was younger? Huh? But I digress). But Gary David Bouton is going to tell you how to make your images look better on the web by learning the basics of contrast, brightness and the so very exciting sounding "gamma!" (Of course, you could confuse "gamma" with "gramma" but that's another story. I'm afraid this says more about me than about you, but again, I digress). Come take a look.
