Published April 21st, 2008 in DesignLast month I published a collection of 45 Photoshop Tutorials for Better Navigation, which quickly became one of the most popular posts on this blog.

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.

Hey there,
Awesome post. I haven’t seen half of these and I’ve been using Photoshop for years! I like how you gave images under each tutorial name so that we can get a feel for the tutorial without having to click it first.
On another note, I’d like to compliment you on your blog. It is very well organized and quite unique.
