Wow... I feel a lot of love.
DAG... I hate to say it... BUT... here it goes. I have tutored many...many people in Photoshop and without practice you will never get any better. I tutored one guy that was paying me $100 a session. We would work and work and he would make progress. Then when I came back for another session we would spend the first 30 minutes reviewing what we covered previously. He still sucks.
So... Practice...practice...practice. I have never taken a class in photoshop nor been instructed (for manips). Now i took many a class on Photoshop and how Photoshop works to become a Certified Adobe Expert... but those are different classes... if that makes sense. Anywho, with practice You will develope your own style. I am always willing to try and help but it always seems that it goes in one ear and out the other. Soo... There are a handful of memebers here that are willing to give out a tip or two... but I honestly think that a sit down, over the shoulder (as bio puts it) isn't going to really help you out.
I do like Hawks idea of a Q&A... but like he said... we need experienced members.
OH... I just remembered. another excellent publication is NAPP's Photshop User. Lots of helpful tips in there and if you are a memeber of NAPP their help desk is free and Pete Bauer is real quick to answer your questions.... there is one more ref link for you.
