Part 2: - How To Search Tutorials on Pixel2Life
Pixel2life has over 24,000 tutorials over 21,000 of those are live viewable and searchable to the public, every graphic, web designer and coder should have Pixel2Life as their first stop place for searching a specific tutorial we're sure to have what your looking for even if it's how to get breast enlargements lol yes we even have that. :P If not post in our tutorial requests forum and we'll be sure to find you an alternative or one of the members will write a tutorial for you. Pixel2Life uses Boolean Search methods. What is a Boolean search? Boolean searching allows you to narrow down your search by using special terms before your keywords. It's very useful because it can help you make sure you don't get 1,000's of results when you search. It came from George Boole back in the 1800's if you wish to go into indepth detail you can read more from wikipedia With Boolean searching you use the following: Boolean term Why? AND To make sure a keyword is included AND NOT (ANDNOT, NOT) To make sure a keyword is not included OR To give alternative keywords But how do we find what we're looking for? Quite easy actually even if you have never used it before, just type in your keywords:- example: sig banner (under photoshop) will bring up 5 pages of sig banner and assorted banner tutorials On every page of Pixel2life at the top of the screen you'll see: this has a dropdown selection covering:- 2D Graphics Adobe Illustrator Adobe Image Ready Adobe InDesign Adobe Photoshop Apophysis Corel Painter CorelDraw and Corel PhotoPaint Gimp Inkscape Macromedia Fireworks Macromedia Flash Macromedia FreeHand openCanvas Paint Shop Pro Quark and QuarkXPress SWiSH Xtivity 3DGraphics D Graphics D Studio Max Animor AutoCAD Autodesk Combustion Blender D BodyPaint D Bryce Carrara Cinema D Lightwave D Maya D Poser Rhino D Swift D Terragen Ulead Cool D Wings D ZBrush Audio Editing Adobe Audition FruityLoops Reason Sound Forge Business Applications Microsoft Excel Microsoft Outlook Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Publisher Microsoft Word Databases Microsoft Access MySQL Desktop Programming C++ General Delphi Python Visual Basic Visual C++ Game and Skin Editors D GameStudio Game Maker Valve Hammer Editor Miscellaneous Application Skinning General Photography Scanners and Scanning Operating Systems Mac OS X Unix Windows Vista Windows XP Video Editing Adobe After Effects Adobe Premiere Avid Xpress Pro Macromedia Director Sony Vegas Website Development Adobe Flex Adobe PageMaker ASP Coding CGI Coding CSS Stylesheets General Website Development GoLive HTML Tips and Tricks Java Development JavaScript Macromedia ColdFusion Macromedia DreamWeaver Microsoft FrontPage Perl PHP Coding Ruby on Rails Please Note: This is completely seperate from our Forum Search and will NOT show results on tutorials from the Forums. As you can see quite the selection choice so your searching has already been simplified for you. All of our tutorials are checked whilst they're in the pending queue and tutorial titles and descriptions changed so searching is made even easier for you. Dead tutorials are removed weekly to keep our database as up todate as it can be.
