Wow, absolutely HUGE roundup. Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed this. Also cheers for the links to PSDFAN
An excellent collection for me to tap into. Kudos.
This is insane! Thank you for the sheer amount of research and preparation for something like this. Gonna be coming back to this one!
Wow! That was huge, a lot to dig through! Thanks for the inclusion.
wow ! nice list man …. never seen amazing listing before …. It will be very usefull…. thanks a lot for sharing … keep it up …!
I was actually kind of disappointed in this list. First off, there aren’t 100 resources here, because many of them are the same sites. How many times are PSDTuts and SmashingMag listed? Abduzeedo? VectorTuts? etc. It’s not that they aren’t great sites, they are. But to be honest, there are so many sites that are much more useful for learning Adobe apps than PSDTuts that I can’t even begin to list them.
Ultimately, while I love all the sites you’ve mentioned (as well as this site), I’ve grown tired of seeing the same small handful of sites appear on these lists (which I’ve also grown tired of seeing). I would be impressed to see a list of 100 Adobe Resources that included NONE of the sites you’ve listed here. To me, that would be a useful list, and not one I’ve seen on every other design-related site across the Web.
i think it`s a great roundup, because even though you repeated a couple sites, you mentioned different posts and that`s great, very useful to have them all together like that, i love lists like this. Anyway here`s a few good sites for resources and freebies:

Wow ! Awesome list ! Bookmarked ! Thanks.
@Jim then please create such article – and later share with us, how long it took to compile.
I appreciate this list, because even for me I always find some fresh links I haven’t seen before. And for not so active people, whole list could be outstanding resource.
Thanks!
Insane! Can’t believe you managed to create such a large and detailed collection – bookmarked + sumbled!
This is greta thanks
great list!
i’m loving it
Killer compilation. Would love to see InDesign links too.
Hi,
This is real a great and big compilation. However i thought you might also integrate in the future tutorials from The Tech Labs.
very nice resources thanks for the list..
Good long list. PSHero has always been one of my favorites.
I agree with what you said
Make sure you add visualfxtuts.com to you list for Adobe After Effects Resources….
Thanks, great list!
Awesome resource – thanks (now following on twitter)
