Here is a Tutorial for Creating some very cool flame effects. And we all know that any photo is better when it hot!
Flame on
Scorching Effects
Here is a fireball – but can you create your own?
And here is a picture of a Guy who is already hot!
Here is a fun little tutorial that will allow you to create a “Fast & Furious” car of your own!
This Tutorial starts with just a picture of a car and you go from there. Be aware, this one has instructions but no pictures of the layers. A bit more challenging!
Below you will find links to pictures of cars.

How to Create a Speed Lighting Photo Manipulation
This image comes right out of the imagination of your mind. Or in this case some one else’s mind…but that is a minor point here. A fun and challenging photoshop tutorial!

Sometimes Photshop is taking an image and say…”Now where do I want to go with this?
Other times it is…”How do i get there?
Well here is one that says…”how in the world did he get there?”
Seem simple? “No problem..” you say? Well…..
Step one…down load this file: texture
Step two…create the above image in photoshop. (full size image)
Step three…either pat yourself on the back because you do know photoshop….or…ask for help! We would love to show you how we did it! (and yes…there is more than one way to get there…there alwasy is!)
Here are two tutorials that give a slightly different treatment to the same image. Both are using variations of similar PS techniques but the end results comes out quite different! Some easy ways to add sizzle to your images!
So will the future be a cosmic place or will you just look really old?
Well in these two tutorials you can have your pick! Or try them both!
The first one is a cosmic trip into space with you (or the victim of your choice!) as the center of it. Space Guy
Here are the clouds and here is a photo of a guy. Or you can provide your own.
The Second one just turns you into someone really, really, really old. Which might be kinda freaky but fun! Old Gal
You will need some portraits of your self to make this a really fun one!
I saw these two tutorials and was “Star Struck!” the planet tutorial is somewhat the same but using a few different techniques. The star field is really cool and can be used with your planets! And then there is a HDR file tutorial helping you create that HDR look when you only have one image to start with. Raw files are really the best but here’s a way to create images that have that same type of look. And then there are the translucent tutorials. Glass balls and Water drops. Fun, fun fun!

Planet Building!
Here is niffty tutorial on how to build a planet. (one of my students, Jessie, found this one!) this totorial contains alot of instructions but not alot of PS images to show you how to do it.
So you are going to have to figure some of this out on your own – which should not be too hard for you PS addicts! The question is…can you figure a better or easier way to accomplish it?
You will need the tutorial – Planets
or download the tutorial from my site – Planet tutorial
here are some texture files if you can’t find one of your own – Texture #1, Texture #2, texture #3, Texture #4, Texture #5, Texture #6
So this video tutorial seems to be a better one for those who have a knack for drawing free style and all that artsy stuff. Still a fun one for everyone though.
Brushes are a fun way to add some spice to your Photoshop tool box. And almost any image can be turned into a brush! Here are a couple of tutorials I found that will help you understand the many uses of brushes in Photoshop.

Have fun with those brushes! (Here is a link to some more fun brushes to down load!)
