    best tutorials….

  20. Colin Boyd (1 year ago)

    Great tutorials, but a little intimidating for a novice like myself. I’ve just started using Photoshop, and while I find these kind of tutorials inspiring I lack the basic skills at present. Currently I’ve been watching the beginners tutorials at http://www.infiniteskills.com/training/photoshop-cs5-essential-training.html and also some on Hyperteach.com, while not as stunning as the listed, they suit my skills level. Maybe you could also list some “not so great” but easier to follow for the novices like myself.

  21. Yeni Nesil Bilgi (1 year ago)

    Thank you. All photoshop tutorials are great!

  22. i? ba?vurusu (11 months ago)
