Detailed Video Descriptions
1 - Casting Shadows (Running Time: 5:50)
In this video tutorial, Geoff Riggs will teach you how to create an elongated shadow cast in front of a block of backlit text.
2 - Cucoloris ("Cookie") effect (Running Time: 4:47)
A cucoloris (or "cookie") is a metal sheet with patterns cut out of it, intended to cast patterned shadows on the background (and often the subject) of a photograph. In this tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs will show you how to achieve the same effect in Photoshop.
3 - Perspective Cropping (Running Time: 1:54)
It seems like it would be quite a task to straighten up a picture of an object that was taken at a severe angle. However, Photoshop's Perspective Cropping feature allows you to do this in one simple step. In this video, you'll learn how to use this amazing tool in Photoshop.
4 - Curves Adjustments (Running Time: 3:08)
In this video tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs will show you how to use Photoshop's Curves Adjustments feature to enhance the brightness and contrast of an image.
5 - Non-Destructive Dodging and Burning (Running Time: 4:18)
The Dodge and Burn tools in Photoshop are great tools for lightening and darkening areas of your images. However, these tools are destructive to your original photograph and can only be reversed using your History panel. In this tutorial, Geoff Riggs will show you a more creative and effective way of achieving the same effects without affecting the image layer itself.
6 - Feather Masking (Running Time: 1:55)
When you feather a selection in Photoshop, it's a little difficult to tell exactly what the results are going to be until after it's already been done. In this video, however, Geoff Riggs will show you a different means of achieving the same effect.
7 - Glowing Lights (Running Time: 4:57)
In this tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs will teach you how to take an image of a light bulb that's turned off and add a glow to it to make it look like it's illuminated.
8 - Grunge Border (Running Time: 2:05)
In this Photoshop tutorial, Geoff will teach you how to create a very easy, but very effective, white grunge border around your photographs.
9 - Aging Your Pictures with Photoshop (Running Time: 6:31)
In this tutorial, you learn how to take an old photograph and make it look even older by roughing up the edges, tearing the picture, and giving the edges a slightly burned look.
10 - Page Curl Effect in CS2 (Running Time: 2:17)
Photoshop CS2 has a brand new feature in the "Edit" menu called "Warp", which allows you to distort your images by hand. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create the ever-so-popular page curl effect using this brilliant new feature in Photoshop CS2.
11 - Converting an Image into a Pencil Sketch (Running Time: 7:24)
Photoshop's "sketch" filter is definitely NOT the best way to go about achieving a sketchy photo effect. This filter only works sometimes, and even when it DOES work out, it usually doesn't look all that great. In this tutorial, you'll learn a much more effective technique for converting your images to sketches.
12 - Posterizing Images (Running Time: 3:08)
Turning your images into illustrations isn't as difficult as you might think. In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to make your images look cartoonish in just one simple step.
13 - Saving Color Swatches (Running Time: 5:31)
When designing a web layout or some other type of design layout, you will often need to use some of the same colors over and over again. In this video, you'll learn how to add color swatches to your Swatches pallette, save your current set of color swatches, and load a set that you've already saved.
14 - Sepia Toned Photos (Running Time: 3:36)
In this tip, you'll learn how to convert a normal color photo into a sepia-toned photo using Photoshop's 'Variations' feature. This feature doesn't allow you as much control as other methods, but it does allow you to save your settings in case you have multiple photos that need to be altered.
15 - Adding Smoke to an Image (Running Time: 4:26)
Want to make your motorcycle photo gallery a little more exciting by adding a little smoke to your pictures? In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to create smoke in Photoshop using filters and blending modes.
16 - Turning Pictures into Statues (Running Time: 12:46)
This tip is a two-for-one for those of you who want to know how to extract a person from an image. After learning how to do this, you'll also learn how to turn that person into a statue in just a few simple steps.
17 - Creating a Realistic Tennis Ball (Running Time: 11:43)
I'll give you three guesses as to what you'll be learning in this tutorial! If you guessed that you're going to learn how to create your own photorealistic tennis ball in Photoshop, then you're absolutely right!
18 - Text that Follows a Path (Running Time: 5:04)
Creating text that follows a path in Photoshop is an extremely simple process. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a circle of text using selections, paths, and, of course, the text tool.
19 - Making a Vignette (Running Time: 7:24)
This video is a relatively simple tip on two different ways to create a vignette for your photographs. A vignette is basically a soft-edged border around a photograph. Enjoy!
20 - Creating Realistic Water (Running Time: 3:38)
In this video, you'll learn how to create a realistic water effect in just a few simple steps. Then you'll learn how to overlay the water over a picture of rocks to make it look like the rocks are lying at the bottom of a riverbed.

Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business. You know, the kind that will allow you to take some time off and still have money coming in. The kind of business where you are building an asset that can be sold at some point in the future.
If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
How To Attend The Webinar
The webinar is a 2 hour presentation plus a live Q and A session. Most of these sessions last over three hours.
We use Webex to facilitate the webinars. This allows you to watch and listen to the live presentation via the web. We use the chat feature to create a very interactive experience.
