Isn’t Photoshop a ton of fun?
I have been using Photoshop for years and even taught a couple of basic and intermediate courses. It can be a scary thing for beginners though.
That’s why tutorials are so great. Thanks for the list.
I really like finding new techniques for things that I spend hours on.
Good inspirational post! I’m working on a logo for our site and this post really helps.
I have been using photoshop now for probably over 10 years and I am continually amazed at how little I scratch the surface of that program.
My applications are mainly in photography, so I hit the same features each time. Thanks for sharing these, they are great.
Freakin’ mind readers.
I recently came across this…but was looking for something…nicer? Prettier? Higher class. Booyah.
Thanks.
Great list of tutorials. I`d like to post my logo using this technics
Excellent list …
i need to purchase a copy of Photoshop/any related software…please reply
These links look great. Definitely bookmarked! I might point out, though, that the “Shade” tutorial (6th from the top) is the wrong link.
I really need to see about getting photoshop. I have corel photopaint and hate it a LOT.
Karen,
I’m not sure what kind of reply you want. You can buy Photoshop just about anywhere.
Wes,
Thanks for pointing out the dead link. Too much copying and pasting. I fixed it.
April,
I’ve never used Corel Photopaint, but I would highly recommend Photoshop.
Wow, this is awesome. I am going to use the 3D one in a new project. Nik Ainley is a god. Thanks Steven.

Vandelay makes things seem easy, a bit right..
Not all though, but still I could find a better, or should I say easier, art in the other sections.. photoshop fever! :3
Amazing work of art, I can learn so much from this post. I always said that it is not really about your skills but the imagination to come up with all this ideas! great job!
Wow! The Fresh logo is amazing looking. I have the perfect project that I can use that one on. Where are you finding all of these great tutorials? Keep them coming.
Always with pleasure I look and I understand with such lessons since the given effects with the text can be used at logo creation. By means of a lesson «3D Typographic Effects» has made to itself magnificent wall-paper on a desktop!
Among these text tutorials, I find supernatural effects amazing! It really looks so natural. Just like the usual design I’ve seen in horror tv shows or movies.
Excellent collection… I’ve worked through a couple of the tutorials and was really pleased with the results, thanks!
