Agreed! It was a fab tute given freely. I presumed that the authors photobucket account had, for some reason, 'expired' the photos. I cant remember if it was PB or Flickr that had (still has maybe?) a rolling limit. So, say there was a limit of 50 pics - when you uploaded pic 51, 52 and 53, pics 1-3 were no longer available. I thought that was the probably reason the pics had gone in this case, rather than them being taken down by the author. I have been off the glass 'scene' due to illness and I wasn't aware that PB were charging for their service. I don't use PB so I am unaware of the situation re charges. It doesn't surprise me that a once free service now has a cost attached.
I apologise if it came across as bitchy and as though I was saying the OP had removed the pics I order to use them in a "paid for" tute. That was not my intention at all.
I do have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about tutorials for sale, and tend to use every opportunity to say my piece. This was NOT the right opportunity to do so and I apologise wholeheartedly if I have caused offence.
