Breaking Apart tutorial request
Firstly I’d like to thank you all for the emails, I really appreciated them. Besides that, I’ve received some requests from readers, what is awesome because sometimes I don’t have much time to think on ideas for tutorials.
The best thing about this requests is that I can learn new techniques and explore Photoshop in a new way. This new tutorial I’m writing is an example. Some users sent me emails asking how to create explosions, like breaking apart some objects in images. So yesterday I took some time and did my first image, you can see it below.
UPDATE: THE TUTORIAL IS AVAILABLE AT PSDTUTS:
http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/seriously-cool-photoshop-explosion-...

I have to say, the breaking apart effect was easier than I thought, at least for this image. I will try new ways to achieve explosion effects as well. And please, keep sending requests.






I think, a shouting effect will look very cool. Goodluck!
I am now a fan of yours Abduzeedo after discovering this site. This is what I always want to learn! Best of luck to you.
Please make a tutorial on how you're doing your name with the rainbow colors and stuff.
I would really appreciate it, and I also really think your name is cool.
as for this tutorial I'm still working on something, but I'll show you the final piece when done :'D
Just please make a tutorial on the way you write you name :$
Big fan of your tutorials :')
I wrote a tutorial last year showing how to do a sort of break apart effect using the displace filter, you can check it out at http://abduzeedo.com/displace-filter-vector-effects
thanks
Hey Abd,
Have you ever tried the Displacement filter (Filter > Distort > Displacement) to achieve this kind of break apart effect?
Excelent, can't wait to check out the tute.
Great picture,but i was wondering how did you create the lines next to the woman?any tutorials on that?i would greatly appreciate it!good work love the website
Very amazing website ^^
Dude first of all I would like to congratulate you for this amazing site of yours it became a great source of info and inspiration! I can´t wait to see this tutorial, I've been trying to do this kind of stuff for a long time using diferent techniques but I'm not happy with the results, I'm sure this tutorial will be extremely helpful.
And yes, I will totally buy you a coffee!!!!
Thanx for sharing your knowledge.
I'd just like to thank you.
I work for a small printers with two other guys, who bless them, are coming to the end of their profession. As I'm the youngest here, and also the sole designer/mac op. I have found it really difficult to gain inspiration, motivate and to ultimately better myself.
That was until I found this gem of a site, where straight from the out set I felt warm, and energised. I wish to become as competent and as inspiring as you here.
so many thanks again! and please don't disappear!
sincerely
A little fish against the flow ;]
Abdu, .... your site is one of those rare tutorial sites that truly make a difference. Tutorials which are for the slightly advanced photoshop users. I mean users that are way ahead of the beginner stage but still like to learn some of the more advanced and creative techniques. So, ... Thank You!
Abduzeedo,
I am new to the site but I have been doing photoshop for a long time now.
I just want to tell you how fantastic your tutorials are written. Very rarely do you find people with your kind of talent that are willing to share their knowledge and I for one am really appreciative.
Great site, Great info.
Thanks

I was one of the people who e-mailed you about this. I started getting some results with using the "tile" method, but not near what you achieved. This is exactly what I was looking for!!!
Awesome website by the way. Maybe I'll try and send my finished result once this tutorial is up or if I figure it out first!
How great is your picture!
How many time did it take to you to achieve it?
Hope to see your tutorial soon ;)
