When Adobe started announcing some of the new features of the CS5 version of Photoshop they showed the Puppet Warp tool in which they played with an elephant's trunk.

After over three days of nonstop rain I decided to use that as inspiration for a new experiment in Photoshop.

In 2007 I wrote a Photoshop tutorial for PSDTUTS that was a user request, actually it was a request from not one but quite a few readers, they wanted to know how to create the MSNBC header effect.

Back in 2007 I was in a design event with Fabiano Meneghetti, my business partner at Zee, and Thiago Bizarro, an old friend of mine, and we started talking about organizing a design event.

A few weeks ago I received an email from a reader asking me if I could write a tutorial showing an underwater scene.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a text made up of clouds in ten very simple steps, solely using brushes, blending, and basic filters.

This post is part of our daily series of posts showing the most inspiring images selected by some of the Abduzeedo's writers and users.

I have written some Illustrator tutorials in which I've used the Blend Tool to create swirls and other shapes, but I have never used it to create a text effect.

More than two years ago, I created an image of a digital bokeh using Pixelmator that became incredibly popular on the Internet.

In 2008 I came up with a technique using the Brush Tool in Photoshop to create a digital bokeh effect. Then I mixed it with some gradient colors blended all together.

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create a very nice abstract effect, using the super cool Travelator filter.
