I wouldn't discourage anyone who wishes to write a tutorial, but feedback in this topic has brought up several excellent points for consideration. Thanks, Dave!


I’ve learned a lot from this thread. And appreciate all who have participated.

Thank you!!!

There are some html elements available for UHH posting use. Specifically, bold, underline, strikethrough, italic, and/or colors can be applied to text.
And some images can be placed within the text https://static.uglyhedgehog.com/upload/2016/5/14/t1-777714-uhh_avatar_160514.jpg in ways other than adding them at the bottom of the post.

But it's true that not all the html elements are available for posts. That makes it a little more difficult to set up a page the way you might like to see it.

PDF is certainly one way to do exactly what you want, but it's not something you can place directly into a post.

It can be done with photos posted to UHH, but at this point it is still cumbersome.
And photos for a tutorial aren't usually standalone photos that would look interesting posted in a thread.


In general, the UHH interface isn’t designed for tutorials, it is designed for forum use – the exchanging of ideas – something posted, then a response, etc.

Tutorials on UHH have to be pretty much linear, but even at that, images cannot be displayed in a preferred location to add clarity in the tutorial. So technically it’s not purely linear, and can make following instruction difficult or confusing.

That’s what I really like about the PDF. The flow is completely controlled by the creator of the tutorial, And for me, it’s easy to do. Corrections can be made, and the PDF reposted.

I do know, at one time, if a person knew a little html, they could add bold letters, color and things like that. Even elements like that can help.

I think Linda summed it up in her initial post -"My experience is mostly with "share" threads - the more ideas the merrier... I'm for no restrictions and keeping it simple. I see no benefit to changing the way this section operates now. I would always rather have more ideas, alternatives, examples and information to be able to learn from and, hopefully, to increase my Post Processing knowledge database.

Thank you, Linda, for the excellent job your doing as a co-moderator. Your efforts are very appreciated.

There's several ways to generate a PDF with what you already have. Most printer software has it built in, so if you have a printer, look on the Print menus for this option. On a mac, this is in the lower left. Also, if you use the Chrome browser as I do, it has a PDF generator (or at least the mac version does, I'm assuming they would be the same across platforms). I've shown both in the screenshots below.

I like using PDFs because of the ease of maintaining formatting for printing, and I like to print out tutorials. I don't like videos as well as the written word. I'm too old a dog to retrain.

When it comes to creating Tutorials I find the UHH interface clumsy, and limiting.

To create a Tutorial I use a word process or publishing program anyway, so creating a PDF isn't a problem. Windows 10 comes with “Microsoft Print to PDF” preinstalled on the system, Linux has a variety of ways to easily produce a PDF, and as MinnieV reported Mac also has ways of producing the PDF.

At this point it would be easier for me to create the PDF first, then post a shorten version on the UHH with the PDF as an attachment for download.

Posting pics on an alternate website to create a Tutorial on UHH would be cumbersome to me and an option I would not choose.

The more laborious the process becomes the less people will participate. Got to keep it simple.

This is really nice!

It would make a great album cover.

Thanks for sharing!

"My Pages" is like a locked topic in that they can only be viewed by others; not written into. It might be a little awkward, but worth more discussion. I see DirtFarmer has expanded his own comments.


Ok, thanks!

This is a great suggestion! I'm sure many folks aren't aware of a what a "personal page" is, and there are a lot of uses for it.

Quick overview: go to My Profile and select "my pages" under account settings. Use the "create new page" spot to name your page.

IMPORTANT. These pages are not private, in the way that a pm is. If you click on anyone's avatar, you will find a link with the label "User's pages." But each page you create has its own url, so it easy to direct someone to a specific page as part of a discussion.

If you have any questions on how to create a personal page, don't hesitate to ask.

Question:

How would one incorporate a "MY Page" as a tutorial under the "Post Processing" section?

How would that work?

As it stands I really, really, really appreciate Linda being able to edit and act as a moderator.

By the way, this is my first exposure on how to use the "My Pages" feature.

Great. What program did you use to create your tutorial document?


I generally use Microsoft Office on my windows machine, and LibreOffice on my Linux machines.

Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice have free applications for both Window's and Linux. I'm not a Mac user.

To create a PDF all that is needed is a PDF driver. There are many free options available online. LibreOffice has a standard export to PDF option.

Hope this helps!

Fabulous! I'm going to repost this in your opening, as well, since this topic is linked in the PP Forum tutorials section (which I forgot to do, but it's there now ).

I saw a suggestion on the “How best to present tutorials” thread on including a downloadable or printable copy of the tutorial as well.

So, below is a printable copy of the tutorial.

Thanks for the time put in & including me on the tutorial. Some valid points added like labeling your mask, I could see where it would be easy to get lost. I have not yet tried masks but know I will be in the hopefully near future. Once again, thank you.
