Top Photoshop Tutorials of 2010



My favorite aspect of graphic design tutorials has always been the combined value of learning new skills and creating something for fun. Adobe Photoshop is probably my favorite design program of choice, simply because this is the one that I need to use the most.


So much to my delight, some amazing Photoshop tutorials have come across the online graphic design scene this year. If you haven’t had a chance to complete all of the tutorials below, you really should consider doing so. Not only will these tuts provide hours of fun but I can guarantee that you will learn something new in the process, unless you are one of those uber-advanced Photoshop users. But for the majority of us, we can always learn something new from our fellow designers, so take a look at the top Photoshop tutorials below to advance your level of skills.
