Follow this simple video tutorial to create a dreamy effect with your photos.

Create this liquid blob effect in Photoshop with a combination of filters, channels & layers.

A really quick and easy effect. Good for use when trying to add text to a scary photo. Could also be created with a white background with light grey and blue colours to create an icy effect.

A great easy to follow tutorial. First use the liquify filter ( filter > liquify) to stretch areas on the face, particularly arching the eye brows. A good tip is to try to make the face unsymetrical. After adding a layer of texture and aligning it with the photograph below, choose hard light from the layers panel drop down menu with the texture layer selected. Erase the unwanted areas and use the dodge and burn tools to highlight specific areas. A good tutorial for changing the eye colour can be found here: Zombie eye.

This video covers in a lot of detail the best ways to change the colour and tone of imagery. Desaturate with different areas of colour highlighted, by going to: Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer. To change a photograph to Sepia tones: First Desaturate the image (Image > Adjustments > Desaturate) and then use the photo filter: Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter.

Start with any picture you like before applying the cloud filter followed by the difference clouds. Invert the picture and change the grey marker in the levels window to white by moving it to the right. This can then be modified to create the look of other types of electric current by adjusting the colour balance until you get your desired effect.

A quick demo of the fantastic CS3 addition to Photoshop; editable filters.

Use the pen tool before filling the area with colour. Repeat contract to fill the area with alternate colours before using the glass filter, layer effects and blur tool to smooth the edges.

This video uses the example of the logo from the Cloverfield movie to create a blurred logo. You could also use this effect on other items to create the effect of something being highlighted in the dark; whites of eyes, road signs etc.
