Photoshop Tutorial: Create a Beautiful Purple Syringa from Scratch

End result:

In this tutorial I will describe with detail how I have made my work called Syringa - lilac, using one source only. This tutorial will be for beginners very useful I hope and maybe even the more advanced users find it helpful. I have used photoshop CS5 but you can create this kind of images even when u use very early versions of photoshop.

I will mention the shortkeys of the tools when there are any so you can get familiar with those too. I shall describe how to use move tool, lasso tool, warp, transform and free transform, type tool, burn and dodge, color adjustments, brightness/contrast and more.
