I was rummaging through some LEGO story sites when I came across this page about using photoshop (or any other graphical program, really) with LEGO to get cool, somewhat realistic images.

This author is something of a master builder and graphics dude - I don't really know who he is or what he's up to now days, but his story is good and this tutorial on LEGO and photo editing is great.
This tutorial is how I learned to use LEGO and photo editing software, so I thought I might share.
