Its mid December and the year is winding down fast. With the new year approaching, I have some new ideas and plans that will be implemented. With the new plans, I will be spending my extra time working on those ideas.

One of those plans to hopefully add more Adobe products to the monthly tutorial collections. I am planning to add Lightroom tutorials and Illustrator tutorials to the list of collection articles posted each month.

I might add more tutorial ideas each month but right now, I am still in the research mode to see if these tutorials will be something the readers are looking for and want.

For now, here is November’s collection of Photoshop tutorials. Enjoy!

The Photoshop Tutorial Collections

As with previous collections, we look for only the best Photoshop tutorials created each month. Not just a large collection of all the tutorials created during the month. There are plenty of other design sites doing that. At Evolutionary Designs, we choose to share only articles that are helpful to our readers or just plain cool.
