Design Cuts Live Tutorials

Design Cuts Live Tutorials With Leslie Nicole

Update: With the changes that Design Cuts have made, the Live events are no longer offered for free, so the links below are no longer available. I have an email in with Design Cuts asking where to find them. Stay Tuned.

Here's a list of all the recordings of my live Photoshop tutorial events with Design Cuts. There are tutorials and live demonstrations using textures in photography, Photoshop digital artistry, technical file formats, resolution, color modes and more.

I'll keep this page updated. If you would like advance notice of live events, be sure and subscribe to our newsletter (plus get the freebies!)

Textures Tutorials

Each of these texture tutorials has slightly different approaches so if you really want to up your game with textures, you may wish to watch all of them.
