STAGE 1 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/hornet.htm)
The answer to type in the first box is of course the text in the background of the first image - rsvt.htm, taking you to:

STAGE 2 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/rsvt.htm)
Pretty much the same as stage 1 - the text "tykca.htm" in the image is the answer:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/tykca.htm |

STAGE 3 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/tykca.htm)
The third image is a stereogram of "o.htm":

STAGE 4 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/o.htm)
For the fourth page, download the image and play around with the contrast & brightness, and you'll see pylc.htm in the background:

STAGE 5 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/pylc.htm)
The fifth image only works (as far as I know) in Internet Explorer. Just select all by pressing ctrl+a, and you'll see "shdfe.htm" as the only visible letters:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/shdfe.htm |

STAGE 6 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/shdfe.htm)
The sixth image is actually a text file, with "syyk.htm" in it:

STAGE 7 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/syyk.htm)
The sixth image has the solution in its filename (mukki.htm.jpg):
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/mukki.htm |

STAGE 8 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/mukki.htm)
CHEATED!
Right, I'm stuck on this one. The image filename is image8.jpg, but it's actually GIF data, so that might have something to do with it. Something in the meta data for GIFs? I'm stumped.
OK, I cheated, I Googled and found the URL to stage 9, which is:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/ca.htm
I won't post the solution though unless someone asks. |

STAGE 9 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/ca.htm)
In Photoshop, go to Image -> Adjustments -> Curves, and move the diagonal left until it's almost vertical, which shows the text "uas.htm":
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/uas.htm |

STAGE 10 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/uas.htm)
Er, this one seems to be another IE-specific puzzle, because in Opera the image clearly says "The next page is: hvk.htm":
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/hvk.htm
Huh... just tried it in IE and the image says the same thing. Weird. |

STAGE 11 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/hvk.htm)
Another image with a .jpg extension that's really a GIF, odd.
This one was also weirdly easy - just download the image and view it in Photoshop or ACDSee and the letters "nybjcy.htm" show up clearly:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/nybjcy.htm |

STAGE 12 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/nybjcy.htm)
This one is pretty clever... There's a thin border to the left and bottom of the image, making an L, and the I is the big black bit in the middle - LI.htm.

STAGE 13 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/LI.htm)
The letters are all just stacked on top of each other for this one, I O V H T M:

STAGE 14 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/IOV.HTM)
This image has the letters arranged close to each other, using 3 Vs to make it confusing - I V V O . H T M:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/IVVVO.HTM
Took a few attempts with different combinations of Is, Vs, Q / O etc to get it... |

STAGE 15 (http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/IVVVO.HTM)
Took a while playing around in Photoshop, but after using Image -> Adjustments -> Curves and increasing the Input a lot, then using Image -> Adjustments -> Hue / Saturation, the text "kelxly.htm" finally showed up:
- http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/kelxly.htm
Which says: "Congratulations! You have completed the Image Puzzle!"
And that's it! Did it! If only I hadn't cheated on stage 8... Arse. I thought it would be harder after trying to do it before and only getting to stage 5. Still, pretty cool, and there's a bunch of other puzzles on the site. |

Erm. I can't remember.
But it didn't take long to find it on Google, you guys are crap. Open the image in Photoshop or something and keep increasing the brightness and contrast. The letters c a h t m are slightly darker than the rest and end up being the only things visible in the image. |

For Stage 8: open the image in your photoshop/paintshop and do a color replace for #02467F. |

For 8:
If you scramble the colors a bit (with Photoshop f.e.) you see that some of the letters in that sentence have a slightly different color, so you get
