CSS Gradient Text Effect from Web Design Wall

Nick from Web Design Wall has written a great CSS Gradient Text Effect tutorial. He explains how to add a great, sleek gradient to your text by using CSS - instead of manually creating your heads in Photoshop. I have read it through and tried it myself, very impressive - especially how it works in major browsers: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer (see his notes however). Top notch!

The White Tree from PSD Top

A useful, simply manipulation tutorial from PSD Top - in the above tutorial you learn how to take a simple, day time photograph, and manipulate it by adding clouds and a moon, at the same time adding a soft glow to your image. Many manipulation tutorials are hard to understand and it’s easy to get stuck along the way - PSD Top has however written this tutorial very well and it should be of use to many.

Setting a Book on Fire in Photoshop from Tutorial Directory

Rendering and lighting in Photoshop are often the most impressive. This sort of effect is really rather nice and realistic, and after reading the tutorial through on Tutorial Directory, it isn’t hard to do. The tutorial is written well and is easy to understand - most certainly something to give a go if you’re wanting to improve your skills in Photoshop.
