    • Gforce20, on 07/13/2008, -2/+1Personally, "Super Slick Dusky Lighting Effect" was my favorite. He used a fancy cursive font as a vector decoration, lol.

  • ghaltmann, on 07/13/2008, -13/+2Most of these look like crap and are amateur at best. Though, if you're trying to make your myspace profile look good I guess this is for you.
  • 360photo, on 07/13/2008, -10/+2Its not easy being cheesy...
  • vinceislegend, on 07/13/2008, -14/+6You suck at Photoshop.

  • ChrisXPPro, on 07/13/2008, -9/+18Someone Got Fed Up From Stumbling To All These Diffrent Tutorials and Put Them On One Page! AMEN!
  • Shade2074, on 07/13/2008, -9/+1Sweet
  • mu0p, on 07/13/2008, -11/+5This is a good selection, but a lot are repetitive, just "light beams" with different names
  • aenegeling, on 07/13/2008, -9/+2Good collection. I think this style however (light beams, etc) has been overused. A few of those compositions lighting in particular makes no sense at all, particularly the comp tutorial from PSDTUTS. =)
  • aserer511, on 07/13/2008, -11/+3God I could use a good tut on photoshop; I can't even do most of the basics.
  • brainscab, on 07/13/2008, -9/+3Thankyou!
    More please.
  • pacpub, on 07/13/2008, -8/+1Some of these effects are a bit over the top for my taste, but most are quite good. And the detailed instructions are awesome. Thanks.
    • eflouret, on 07/13/2008, -2/+2Yeah, I know what you mean. It is very hard to come up with a good compilation lately. But don't be so hard on these tutorials, many people can find some good use to them.
  • bipolarruledout, on 07/13/2008, -9/+3Lens flare better not be on here.
  • ArkRaider1936, on 07/13/2008, -10/+6It's the Bury Brigade a-comn' through!
    *closes window shutters and hides like in a Western movie*
  • Riven213, on 07/13/2008, -7/+1what an awful piece of crap. this is why i hate deviantart. ART? LOL.
    • eflouret, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1You have to think in terms of techniques, not art.
      Learn how to do it and create your own masterpiece with those techniques.
  • sirmasterboy, on 07/13/2008, -8/+3O god... Not another one of these stories where all of the comments are dugg down for no good reason.

    • tedrock, on 07/13/2008, -2/+1they are dugg down for a good reason. no one needs to see 50 comments saying "awesome" or "great". post something productive.
  • DwightSchruter, on 07/13/2008, -6/+2"Arent you a bit young?"
