What has happened ?

Hi
What has happened to the photo radar site ? When I type it into the search bar I get taken to the DCW page. Where is the old page with the list of photoshop tutorials and videos etc.
I've not been on the site for quite some time now due to illness, but if this is the new layout well then i'm afraid i'll just look elsewhere for my advice. This site is terrible, just like the magazine (which I stopped buying a long time ago) it is to focussed on Dslr's at the expense of the high end compacts.

PR was switched back to Digital Camera in December last year. There are lots of tutorials still, but not as well laid out.

Thanks for that donoreo. I was afraid that this is what happened and I agree that the tutorials are not well laid out, PR was a brill site and so quick and easy to use. It just goes to show that when one is unable to keep up with things for whatever reason, a lot can change (not for the best in this case).
I don't suppose you know why it changed back.

I am guessing a change in upper/middle management. They went to PR to follow all their other *Radar websites, so be consistent in branding. The idea was to have all the photography magazines under one site. Then...someone decided this was not a good idea. The photography magazines have their own sites but share the forums here.

Ah now it all becomes clear - I was wondering what had happened!!

I must say I don't find this as user friendly as the previous incarnation and the gallery is awkward enough to discourage me from using it in favour of flickr.

sad to see one good reference site changing for the worse. what alternative sites can you recommend?

I wasn't here for a while either. And I found out that my gallery has been deleted. Without any warning or email before.

We were all opposed to the change but, like everything, it takes getting used to. Now I don't even miss the old site.
