Photoshop Tips and Tutorials
I’m going to post Photoshop Tutorials Links here daily from now on. I think daily links to the best tutorials online would add value to this site. Well here goes:
This tutorial is a nice photoshop pixel art 101. If you have always wondered how to get the lines thin enough or how to add basic textures and colors to pixel art then check this tutorial out. [ Read ] [ Mirror ] note: Try to keep your pixel art consistent. In this tutorial, the writer adds non-pixelish trees and grass and shadows and smudges to the final image and in my opinion that doesn’t work too well for the over all image.
After going through the previous tutorial you should checkout the pixel texture tutorial. I really enjoyed this tutorial and I think it’s perfect. [ Read ]
Here is another high quality tutorial that will help you create a very realistic looking mechanical pencil. You will learn about gradients, blending options and layer effects by following this tutorial. [ Read ]
This is the first tutorial by InterfaceUniversity.com. It teaches you how to achieve a chrome pipe effect. They are off to a great start and I look forward to their future tutorials. [ Read ]
This was the first Daily Tutorial Roundup. I’m going to post one everyday with the highest quality tutorials that I can find!

Jennifer Apple of PhotoshopSupport.com has posted a nice bunch of links to helpful Photoshop Links on her blog.
The links point to various tutorials such as:
This is a fairly useful tutorial if you want to learn more about how some people create digital art. I have known some digital artists who disagree with using the smudge tool too much because they believe that a viewer would much rather look at brush / pencil strokes rather than smudged color.
Still, this is a great tutorial that is definitely worth checking out!
CreativePro.com has posted a new tutorial today about how to use Smart Objects in Photoshop CS2.

With CS2, Adobe introduced Smart Objects, special layers that can contain references to vector or raster image data. You treat these layers almost like any other layer, but at any time you can alter the source data for the layer using Camera Raw. Those alterations get passed through to the Smart Object in Photoshop. Because Smart Objects can contain Raw files, they allow for a Raw workflow that lets you re-edit your original Camera Raw settings at any time.
Dr-Photoshop posted a link to a video tutorial that goes over how to create a 3D Poker Chip.
