Have you ever think of designing great photos with the use of Photoshop? It’s very simple, as long you have learn all the basics of Adobe Photoshop you wont have any problem in creating great effects just by using the basics. What you need to learn is to open your mind and think outside the box. Don’t just use tools to create realistic effect but use some thing more real. Creating your own cool effects by yourself without using good resources is a waste of time. Even if you have mastered the tools without great resource is not totally nice. I’ve notice everywhere here in my hometown that most of the photo editors are all just basics.
