I miss seeing these types of tutorials on this site… Thanks for the list!

This is exactly what I need because I am new to Photoshop. Thank you so much!
pe November 14th
nice one.
Aaron November 14th
This is great! I love it! Finally more tutorials for us photoshoppers to use!
By the way though, many of these tutorials are not for beginners, as I used to be myself. Many of the steps are not explained thoroughly enough for beginners.
All in all, it was great all the same! I can’t wait to try these on some of my projects!
Nick November 14th
Always good to be reminded of the basics. Very inspiring post.

Wow, nice list.
sean steezy November 15th
I totally tried to submit the ‘wrinkles’ one as a tut over on this site as a super easy HDR effect w/camera raw, but it didn’t make it. That’s weird that we used the exact same photo too, free from iStock….. word.
Josh November 15th

What’s next, a round-up of the top 50 round-ups of tutorials? If people want to do roundups, that’s fine, but make them do it for free. Don’t pay them for re-hashing the same old links.
Jens November 15th
Thanks a lot
Great stuff!!
Phil E. Drifter November 15th

Julia November 16th
For a year since I got photoshop I have been overwhelmed. All these tutorials on the site and dont know where to start. Sure I know the tools and and how to use them. But really dont know how to do anything else. These are the tutorials I was looking for. Thanks. I can get started.
Seb November 16th
The images of #2 and #16 are wrong…
Anyway nice list!
Manuel Minino November 16th

Lubes November 16th
“Dramatic Wrinkles” needs to be renamed “Old Man with Bucket of Soot Dumped in His Face.”
Josh November 16th
Most of the links don’t work, the account is suspended.
Dee November 16th
The list is really good but aren’t you guys bothered at the title “FOR whatever BEGINNERS”?????!!!!!!!
cgr55 November 17th
A good list…
but…
I’d rather see 5 never before seen tutorials than to see 50 of the same or nearly the same ones you’ve posted before. Come on. It’s time for some tutorials with new concepts. I know they will come soon..
The REASON why you’ll see many vintage effects on the list is because the list itself is composed with wrinkled old tutorials.. Is this a trick or treat? Halloween is over.
no, I’m just kidding in a way that I’m a little disappointed in this site in a way that I cannot remove or photoshop it.
Lol at #6 titled Idiots Guide to Small Planets.
thanks anyway…
