I'm getting serious about Photoshop CS. Ryan at Light Tight recommended a great book to get me started - 'Real World Photoshop CS' - it's great.

If any of you have tips and tricks you want to share, post them here! What would be nice is an example photo to go along with the post -- a before and after, if you will. Dave at Chromasia does a great job of including comments which clue all of us into what he does to create those wonderful images we salivate over. I've learned a lot from lots of people - and I'll try to post some of what I've learned as I go along.
