Re "Link does not work": The video tutorial works for all the computers we can try it on. Perhaps it was a short, temporary glitch?

After the spa treatment
Very good tutorial, and full of important and useful tips. I recently enhanced a photo of a bride' and used a similar process, but I returned to it after viewing this tutorial and was quite surprised at the difference (a day makes'') using those presented here. Thank you very much for this enlightening episode.
