I created this blog for one reason - to stay abreast of the design contest scene across a variety of disciplines and to learn more about how to use my software to the max. Since I’ve used Photoshop since 1990 (version 1.0!), I’m always interested in tutorials from other Adobe Photoshop CS2 users. Here’s a recent list of a few tutorials that I access once in a while to learn more. Mind you, some of these tutorials may date back as far as Photoshop 5.5 (I don’t think any of them are any earlier), but they are as relevant today as they were five years ago.
