Due to the problem in last post, i wanna upload the video clip used in the flash project in replace and give you some idea on choosing components to give your house the right light. This is from the website www.metacafe.com

It's the source of my flash project. The intruction is given by an expert of lighting house. It's uploaded on ehow website.

How to Choose the Right Light Fixtures
By TigressCalliope

+Step1
Under cabinet lighting is warm and inviting! Kitchen: a lot of time is spent working in the kitchen. Lights can keep the mood up. Under cabinet lighting adds a beautiful, warm touch. It also helps keep your workspace safe (think: using a knife). Even better, it will make your counter top sparkle, giving your kitchen a pristine appearance. A clean kitchen makes all the food that comes out more inviting. If you have an island or peninsula, why not add some pendant lights over it? They hang straight down on thin strings and light up the area, making it the perfect place to have a snack and read a paper. Overhead, recessed lighting will do the trick. Most kitchens should use halogen recessed bulbs for this, due to the natural coloring it produces. You want to know if your veggies aren't the right color.

+Step2
Living room: again, you'll want recessed lighting (also called "cans" or "high hats") here. Halogens will do well. Although they don't light a wide area, their light is bright and natural. This keeps the living room cheerful. Make sure you have a dimmer put in, too so you can turn the lights down (but not off!!!) during scary movies. If you find you have darkened corners, add a lamp on a corner table. Use an incandescent bulb for a cozy yellow glow.

+Step3
Dining room: a chandelier is the classic element here. Go for good ole incandescent bulbs. A dining dimmer is essential, so you don't feel like your in an interrogation. People sit close together and chew food in dining rooms. That's why many restaurants are dimly lit--halogens have no place here. A dimmer also helps set the mood during candlelit dinners....

+Step4
A white crackled-glass wall sconce Hallway: usually, hallways are very heavily-trafficked. No need for halogens to shine a beam that directly illuminates the worn path in the rug, or the scuffs on the of't traveled floor. Incandescent bulbs are the way to go! If your hallway is longer, put those bulbs in a wall sconce. Don't think medieval, heavy and ugly. There are all sorts of beautiful sconces now. They have a rather lux look about them, which adds panache no matter how casual the rest of your decor is. For a short hallway, go for a semi-flush or flush mount fixture. Hallways are boxy, and a stained glass fixture will look especially vivid in such a plain space.

+Step5
The high ceilings in this bedroom call for halogen lighting. Bedroom: high hats, of course, are the choice here, too. Have an electrician add a two way switch, so you can turn them off from your bedside, and near the doorway. The type of bulb you want depends on ceiling height. An elevated ceiling would require a halogen bulb. The extra height will allow their circle of light to spread farther, too. It gives the room a wonderful, winter-sun type of light. If your ceilings are lower, you should go incandescent. While they're okay in a living room, you don't want dark corners in your bedroom. For a decorative touch, add wall sconces to either side of the bed. Leaves more room on your end table for books or whatnot, and it looks so much richer than a bedside lamp.

Step6
Side lighting: less scary in the AM Bathroom: too many people throw one light in the middle of the ceiling and call it a day. We do our most personal and detailed grooming in the bathroom, yet this room is most ignored. Vanity lighting aids in brushing teeth, putting on make up, and shaving. But one light over the mirror is a huge mistake. It leaves a dreadful shadow casting down, one that will have you jumping back in bed at the sight of your own reflection. A better option is lighting on either side of the mirror. It casts light more evenly, and less evilly. If you must go above the mirror, go for length. That will help the light fall more evenly on all sides of you. If your town code permits, a glass-covered high hat could be placed above your bath or tub. At no time should there be fluorescent bulbs anywhere in the bathroom--a common mistake. Fluorescent bulbs cast a sickly green hue on skin, and no one needs to see that fresh out of the shower. Halogens show you your most natural colors, as they would appear in daylight.

+Step7
Closets: well well! Getting fancy! Lighting even in the closets? Why not! And here's the place for fluorescent bulbs. Why? They're never on for more than a few minutes a day, so it doesn't really matter just how unnatural the light is--and they are in a closet. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat, cost less, and last MUCH longer than any other type of light bulb. As for the sickly hue? Your clothes don't mind. They told me so.

+Step8
Halogen floodlights produce warmth--instead of a dark undeground look. Basement: if it's underground, you'll want high hats and halogen flood lights. Because of their size, the flood lights extend closer to the end of their "can," meaning they can produce a wider circle of light, or, you know "flood" the room with light. Why not use these everywhere? Way too bright for rooms above ground.

My flash tutorial on lighting house

I have problem with uploading file so just give you some view of my flash sorry a bout that. I will try to fix later.

>> Step 1:
Open Image Open the image you want to convert into IR
Suggestion: use a well lighted landscape with nice grass and blue cloudy ski however you can apply this effect on many other subjects includding portraits.

>> Step 2a: Add a Channel Mixer and set it with Infra Red values
The first step is to add a channel adjustment layer. So lets go to the layers palette and click the (adjustment layer button) the black and white circle at the bottom and then click channel mixer in the pop up menu
Next thing is to Set the values Red: 100% Green: 200% Blue : -200% Constant -25 in the Channel Mixer window that just poped up

>> Step 2b: Select the Monocrome box and play a bit with the channels. Next you have to check the Monocrome box and play again a bit with the channels, the R:100 G:200 B:-200 are arbitrary values that work most times , but you may need move slightly those values depending on the darkness or lightnes you want , so play a bit and click OK when you are satisfied with the preview

***>> Step 3: Add the magic texture Most of the magic of IR is the dreamy texture , so we can create that by adding some "noise" (filter/noise/add noise..)OR !by Adding Blury a texture.

>> Step 3a: Merge Down Channel Mixer select
the Channel Mixer layer in the layer's palette and click on PC Ctrl+ E or (Layer/Merge down)

>> Step 3b: Duplicate Background layer
Select the Background layer in the layer's palette and duplicate it (Layer/Duplicate Layer)

>> Step 3c: Add gaussian blur to the duplicated image
Select the duplicated layer (background copy ) and add “Gaussian Blur” (filter / blur / Gaussian blur ). It has to look rather blurry

>> Step 3d: Reduce Layer's Opacity
Set the layer’s opacity value to 50%. (layers / layer style / blending options ) slide to 50% the opacity slider in the top of the layer palette. The opacity can go from 30% to 60% it will
determine how soft the pic will be.

I did try it and believe me it's wonderful.

This is one of my important skill needed for my tutorial website. GIF animation will clearly explain steps in tutorials. I'm sure that will be useful to all. Enjoy and have fun.

How to Create Animated Gifs Using Photoshop Cs3
As webpages develop into more sophisticated works of art, it becomes necessary for designers to use different techniques to attract a viewer. One technique that is utilized is the animated .gif graphic. The animated .gif allows a designer to inject movement into webpage graphics to draw the attention of the viewer. There are many software programs available that allow the creation of these graphics. One such program is Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 3 (CS3), which will be used for our tutorial. It is important to note that this tutorial requires basic knowledge of Photoshop CS3, along with experience using layers. For beginners, please refer to the Related wikiHows and Sources at the end before to become familiar with Photoshop CS3. The following tutorial, created by the Fighting Engineers, describes how to create an animated .gif graphic using Adobe Photoshop CS3.

1. Create a document with each frame of the animation on a different layer.

2. Select the layers to be used in the animation from the layers palette
Note1: To select a group of layers, select the layer at the top of the group. Then hold the shift key and click on the bottom layer and this will highlight every layer in # Open the animation palette by choosing window from the menu bar and selecting “Animation“.

3. When the animation palette opens, it should look like this. If it doesn’t that means it opened in the timeline view.

4. Change to frame animation view by clicking on the flyout menu in the upper right hand corner of the animation palette and selecting “Convert to Frame Animation”.

5. Change every layer showing on one frame to every layer showing on its own frame, by clicking the flyout menu on the animation palette and choosing “Make frames from layers”
Note: All layer don’t have to be selected, to select a few layers use the copy layer button at the bottom right of the animation palette to add layers.

6. Modify each frame by selecting the frame on the animation window and changing it as desired in the main photoshop window.
Note: To add or remove a graphic from another layer to any frame r, select the frame and in the layers palette, click the “eye” to toggle on or off the visibility for that layer.

7. Under each frame is an arrow head pointing downward. Click on the arrow head to display timing menu and select the display time for each frame.
From the file menu select export to export the document as a movie or under the save as option save the file as a gif. Be sure to select Save for Web and Devices.

The final theme used for flash project. i tend ti make a website with cowboy style.

These are images i gonna use for my portfolio website created by flash. Some of the are downloaded legaly from the internet and the others are created my own.

My third one ( i like the most). This is also a wallpaper in my laptop. The high contrast and lack of colors ( 3: white, black and grey) is the reason why I wanna use this one as my flash template.
Nature is also the topic i tend to use in creating my flash.

All buttons used to link parts of my web will be put on the leaves ( 1 for each leaf): Home, My portfolio, Gallery, Contact and Credits.

I love the simple so I think this one is great. What do u think?

My second one i created from my own idea not referenced from any sources. The reason for this one is that i wanna give users the feeling like he/she is the owner of this website. They will find out that they are not guests, just visited a website, but the owner gonna edit this website.

I use the wallpaper in my laptop, make new folder icons, rename them and add recycle bin on the right bottom corner to make it a button of my website with the name "Back to the previous page".

I tend to use my laptop interface for this purpose. Some benefits: I can create myself even if no internet network connected; it's quite simple; everyone will find them as the owner when he/she visits this website.

The worst thing here is that the quality of picture is not good. As u see above, the picture is quite small and will get blur when zoomed in, especially for those icons.

So welcome everyone to give me solutions or any comments for this theme. Thanks.

My first one. I choose this one cos' it make me quite impressive with the colorful background behind. The note page also looks natural as normal one. I tend to arrange all buttons which will link to parts of my website on the left and all the right of the page will be the place i put my info or contents.

This idea comes from my poster. "A diary opened and give u guys my info and my works" <<< the original. However, i wanna make sth new not only the old style so try to make it more colorful, more impressive and simple.

In fact, this one is not the one i like the most ^_^. What do u think about this one? Leave me your comments.

I spend a few hours to look up and check many websites and finally found a great web. There are lot of tutorials and plugins and effects download which are very useful for designers. You can find ideas from these for your own works.

Thanks to all comments, I did fix some from my first poster. Here's the final one.
I did use some effects in this poster.
1. I used render/sketch/ pen effect (PS) for my 2 tiger pictures to make it old and quite impressive.
2. Render/Posterize (PS) for whole poster
3. Lighting Effect
However, this poster is quite dark and if u wanna try to make a poster like this one you can fix the darkness . It will be better.
Finally, these are pictures i did use.
