Photoshop Tutorials

Below, I have collected together some of the finest photoshop tutorials, from around the web. Each contains industry standard design techniques, to help you learn, train and perfect your design skills.

1. MP3 Player Design

When it comes to graphic design, Adobe Photoshop is usually the first option to consider. However, the software itself is a quite tough nut to crack — and definitely extremely hard to master. For instance, the concepts are not always intuitive and it’s not always clear when to use what tool and how to use it effectively. In fact, in Photoshop it usually takes pretty much time to achieve something you have never done before.

However, you don’t need to muddle through numerous Photoshop features and extensions for every design problem. You can use professional suggestions instead, e.g. professional step-by-step tutorials which provide excellent results and thus can save you a lot of time.

One year ago we’ve presented a hand-picked collection of Photoshop tutorials. Now it’s time for a fresh portion of healthy Photoshop learning material. This article provides professional Adobe Photoshop tutorials which can enrich your design skills and improve the quality of your works. Although the authors of the tutorials rarely provide the information about the used version, we tried to pick only those tutorials that can be used with both CS 3 and older versions of Adobe Photoshop.

2.Magic lighting effect in Photoshop

Well what I want to show here is how to create a nice light and magic effect.

The whole process took me about 35 minutes, one thing I think is really cool is to apply the color dodge blending option to folder, and put blurred elements inside of it. Using it you can create some really amazing light effects.

I’ve been writing tutorials inspired by skateboard deck designs for a few weeks and today it’s not going to be different. I’m very addicted to that, I love the ideas some of the designers have and for this tutorial I will recreate a really nice effect with lines forming a star.
