Great thread thanks...

I am merging from here and will make this a sticky. I'd like to encourage others to continue to add to this thread... if it gets too heavy we can always break it down into smaller categories such as by software or design type.

Adobe Photoshop Tutorials - Tutorialized

I've learned almost all (since beginner stage) from there.. But one thing I would like to tell you, Photoshop is all about creativity, only tutorials wont help you. You must have to be creative to get better results

@targetblimp

you will have to pay for lynda.com tutorials..

here are some good sites-

Adobe Photoshop Tutorials – Best Of | Smashing Magazine has a collection of some of the top photoshop tutorials. (recommended )

tutorial | Abduzeedo | Graphic Design Inspiration and Photoshop Tutorials

Photoshop Tutorials - Psdtuts+

Good-Tutorials - Photoshop Tutorials

Photoshop Tutorials - Home

just dont follow the tutorials blindly...learn from them and try to create something new and creative

@pixelpusher

I'm gonna have to look for it, but there was a post about a year or so ago that had more photoshop links to tutorials than you could ever want.

Edit
I haven't found that link yet, but here was another one I copied from one I found using the forum search button

@PP, none of the eyeball design links work. sites closed i think.

DanDroiD · #6 (**permalink**) 3 Dec 09, 03:36 AM

^^ Weird I just checked them and they work fine for me

I hope you get it working because they have some awesome stuff there

SoMxNemesis · #7 (**permalink**) 3 Dec 09, 08:36 AM

Try Vimeo, Video Sharing For You, they have tons of stuff there

DanDroiD · #8 (**permalink**) 3 Dec 09, 09:20 AM

@6pack
Just checked the eyeball designs site again and it takes you to the main page, seems that they have redone their web site. I would just tool around, there are some phenomenal tutorials there as well as templates and other stuff.

6pack · #9 (**permalink**) 3 Dec 09, 10:58 AM

^ iget this no matter which link i click. even on the home page. maybe indian ip's are blocked by their server.

DanDroiD · #10 (**permalink**) 3 Dec 09, 12:13 PM

Hmmmm.. not what I am getting at all, maybe as you say it is blocked to certain countries or something.

They do have a flash intro and part of the site is flash, do you have flash plugin installed....it's about the only thing else I can think of.

DanDroiD · #11 (**permalink**) 6 Dec 09, 10:02 PM

@6pack
It does specify that you are forbidden to view the page, why don't you try surfing through an online proxy server and see if you can access it that way. At least you would know if your ISP/India .... or something, was being blocked
