The following Photoshop CS3 Tutorials describe some of my favourite techniques for creating and modifying both photos and graphics for web use. Whilst not all the tutorials require Photoshop CS3, having a CS version or above is recommended.
During the series the Photoshop CS3 Tutorials will cover; Touching up photos, Use of light and shadows, The wonders of the Burn, Dodge and Saturate Tools, Warping, Blending and Liquefying. Along the way i hope you will pick up some useful ideas to help inspire your own Photoshop CS3 creations!
