11 Great Photoshop Photo Effects Tutorials

Yo Stumbler follow me on twitter @designshard – Yeehaw! lets ride this design wave.

I’ve tried to collect a few photo effects tutorials that are very much centred around one subject rather than a complete photo manipulation. If you don’t like the finished product I’m sure you’ll find some cool techniques to do certain effects in these tutorials.

Texture Lovers has some great free textures for use in your photo manipulations too.
