What Photoshop Tutorials Does PanosFX Provide?

PanosFX publishes free Photoshop tutorials alongside its paid add-ons, covering techniques such as color grading, halftone and line pattern creation, and sketch-style framing. They are written for Adobe Photoshop users who want to learn a specific effect or evaluate whether a related PanosFX action is worth buying. Tutorials are organized in a dedicated tutorials section of the site, with new entries announced in the blog and news area.

Tutorial topics currently listed

The site's own listings name these tutorials:

Each is a standalone technique lesson. The color grading tutorial is described as being about "target colors and luminosity with total control," which points to a selective-adjustment workflow rather than a single global filter.

How the tutorials relate to the paid tools

Some tutorials demonstrate the same effect a PanosFX action or add-on produces, so they serve two purposes:

• Learning the technique if you want to build the result manually.
• Judging the tool if you are deciding whether the corresponding action saves you enough time to justify buying it.

For example, the Sketch Art framing tutorial pairs with the sketch-border style of effect, and the halftone tutorial teaches a manual pattern method that overlaps with what pattern-generating add-ons automate. Reading the tutorial first gives you a realistic sense of the steps an action would replace.

Where to find them

Tutorials sit in their own section of panosfx.com, separate from the Premium collections and free add-ons. New tutorials are announced in the "Our latest news" block on the homepage and in the blog. If you only want free learning material, the tutorials and the free add-ons (such as Coin Portrait and Stack of Photos) are the two areas to browse — the Premium Toolkits are the paid side.

Practical notes before you start

• The tutorials assume working knowledge of Photoshop layers, Smart Objects, and adjustment tools; the Bitmap Mode tutorial in particular relies on a Smart Object workflow for "more professional results."
• Bitmap Mode is a destructive, limited-color mode, so follow the tutorial's ordering rather than experimenting mid-document on a file you need to keep editable.
• Some newer add-ons reference AI-assisted steps (Firefly inside Photoshop, or external generation with Gemini). Where a tutorial touches those, check that your Photoshop version and available AI features match before following along.

If your goal is a specific look — graded color, halftone texture, or a sketch frame — start with the matching tutorial, then decide whether the related action earns its place in your workflow.
