Title: Photoshop Retouching Cookbook for Digital Photographers Subtitle: 113 Easy-to-Follow Recipes to Improve Your Photos and Create Special Effects First Edition: August 2005 ISBN: 0-596-10030-2 Pages: 176
This book is packed full of 113 recipes for getting the most out of your Photoshop experience. Most of the recipes are clear and concise.

Situation:
You want to restore an image file from a CD-ROM or do an integrity check of the image files on the CD-ROM. When you run Ghost and select the CD-ROM drive in the “Look in” box at the drive selection window (that is, at the “File name to load image from” window), no files are listed for the drive.
This is a problem that has a multi-stepped solution.
1. Make sure you are using an 80 wire ide cable, not the old 40 wire ones that we are used to using for CD and DVD devices. The old cables are not capable of supporting the higher speeds of today’s burners. Continue reading My new 12x DVD burner will only burn at 2x→
Today when I went to use the recovery disk on my Toshiba laptop, in order to prove to Toshiba that the DVD-RW drive is bad, I received the following message (printed in ASCII art): WRONG MACHINE
If I ran the disks in Windows, I got a similar message telling me that the recovery CD Rom was not for my machine, but that it was built for a Satellite 5200 only. Interestingly enough, the machine IS a Satellite 5200. Continue reading “Wrong Machine” Error message on Toshiba Satellite→
