Wow! I cant imagine how long this post took to make, thanks for all the fantastic resources, I have bookmarked over a dozen of these
( )Dainis Graveris October 10th
Nice collection, pity I’ve seen almost all of them already! Grunge is very interesting style actually..huh but not for me I guess.
( )diesel October 10th
This is superb, great compilation, thanks!

enjoy your grunge responsibly!!!
( )But still this is nice to have all these tutorials!!!
Radu Chelariu October 10th
While all of the links here are awesome in their own respect I can’t help but state that Nr. 28 is simply the most professional, comprehensive and encompasing of all of them. In fact I would go to such extent as to say that it is the best tutorial on photo manipulation that I have ever come across. It, to this very day, still baffles me. Truly amazing.
Anyway, lovely to see more roundups here on PSDTuts, always a pleasure. keep up the good work guys!
( )MaNshY October 10th
it’s a gr8 Collection, thank you
( )Jana October 10th
Some of those are very unique and awesome looking — the portrait and businesscard ones are my favourites. A few, however, look kinda lame and amateur. Great list though.
And dear god, when can we finally retire the term grunge for anything that’s worn or distressed looking? Grunge makes me think of flannel shirts and bad hygeine!
( )RUGRLN October 10th
Yup..No28 I think is by far the best Photoshoped image I’ve seen ever! Trule fantastic, work of art!
( )Danielle October 10th

Very cool! Loves me some dirty grunge!
( )shagdirty October 11th
So is Grunge considered a “Web 2.1″ look? seems to be all over the place now. don’t get me wrong I like the aesthetic but I would love to see a “cutting edge design trends” post on a semi-regular basis.
( )Adam October 11th
some great ones in there, but is it just me, or are the “50 best this, 20 best that, 30 super the other” getting a bit boring now? Whats happened to the good old tutorials? I look forward to opening up psdtuts.com to see the latest great tutorial and I get a list of effects off the net that absolutely anybody could collect – half of them aren’t even that good – granted, some are, but either way – bring back the TUTS!
( )Howard Pinsky October 11th
Great collection. This will definitely help my grunge addiction. =)
( )Dan Harper October 11th
Thanks for this! I’ve been trying for the past few weeks to make a nice grunge web design, however I keep failing miserably.
( )Hopefully these will help me out a bit.

the “Making of Urban” has a really impressive end result, you should get the author to write some tuts for you guys.
( )Peter Nichol August 4th
This selection is brilliant. I’m not that great at design myself, but would love to be using Photoshop to be producing images like these.
( )James Alexander September 30th
My name is James. I love learning about all the different PS effects and downloading the newest, coolest brushes. I visit many of these sites daily looking for new and exciting changes in graphic design, specifically related to Photoshop. Below is information regarding my new program that I believe will make brush selection in photoshop quicker and easier.
Want to view your Photoshop brushes quickly and easily? How about a full-size preview? Go to http://www.brokenhoneyprojects.com and check out BrushO! If you have Photoshop and enjoy using many different sets of brushes, you’ll enjoy using BrushO!
