5 Photoshop Tutorials from Learn2Photoshop

1)  Texturing Techniques: The Cabinet Case-Study - Part 1

This tutorial teaches true photo-texturing, versus the lazy-man's way of selecting an image, resizing it, saving it and calling it texture.  This is known as (photorape).  Using a high-resolution photo image that has issues of flash spots from the camera, barrel distortion and rotation, and color inaccuracy, Part 1 of this study addresses the barrel distortion and rotation.

2)  Texturing Techniques: The Cabinet Case-Study - Part 2

Using the same high-resolution photo image as in Part 1, this tutorial  case study (Part 2) addresses the last problem to be fixed -- flash spots from the camera, which are hard to remove and are a dead give-away for photorape.

3)  Layer Effects Explained

Assuming a very basic knowledge and understanding of layers and simple tools, this tutorial explain some layer effects and blending options using demos for each.  These are:  Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, Inner Glow, and also Bevel and Emboss 

4)  The easiest way to make tileable textures with PhotoShop7 or above

This is a true newby guide and the author encourages the reader to feel free to cut and paste the first image (a cropped photo of grass)  into Photoshop for actually trying out the techniques taught in the tutorial.  Here you will learn to remove tell-tale signs like seam lines between tiles using the healing brush tool.

5)  Keying Green Backdrops (original tutorial is here

This tutorial is about editing photos with a green backdrop and at the end discusses editing photos with a translucent image.  In this tutorial, objects will be separated from green backdrops with precision, including learning how to mask fine strands of hair and also a translucent glass vase.  Techniques taught are identifying green areas, creating a black and white layer to represent the transparency of the image, using the channel mixer tool, adjusting the green backdrop with the Hue/Saturation Tool and removing green edge artifacts.
