Gaus So then i take it the tutorial can be really simple as long as it's original?? Btw, some of those HDR photos are KICK @SS!!!

[Gaussian]

Well, the one I posted is not an entry but simply an example of what to post here after you make a tutorial.... but yes the tuts can be simple... or they can be complex.... there's not really any limitations on what type of tutorial you can post.

The things we are looking for are originality and usefulness, as well as being easy to follow and written/formatted properly.

Basic Fire-Ball effect

About the tutorial:
This is a basic and easy tutorial on how to make a fireball. The technique used in this tutorial can be very useful for beginning and possibly intermediate photoshop users, as it can be applied to many different uses other than making a fireball.

Today was supposed to be the day this contest closes, but with only one entry I am going to extend the deadline to the end of the month.

This is a fantastic prize ladies and gents, get some tutorials up and enter them!

New close date is Nov. 30 I hope we get more entries by then, it will not be extended again.

Best of luck!
