It’s the end of the month and there are some new Photoshop Tutorials available to try out. I know there are still a few days left in the month, but its a holiday weekend and I will not be around much. So instead of posting this next month or not all, I decided to post it early. Next month, I will add any great tutorials created in the last week of May since I am posting early.

There are plenty of design sites sharing monthly Photoshop lists, so instead of share everything created each month like everyone else, I thought I would share some of my favorites and ones that will be more useful for everyday users and those interested in learning Photoshop.
