As you probably have figured out...there are at least a dozen different ways to accomplish the same task in Photoshop . These tutorials are not meant to be the only way, just one of the ways.

Be sure to check back ocassionally as I will be adding tutorials to the page

These tutorials are in PDF format simply click to read them, or right click to download them.
