10 tips for new photoshop users:
1) Breathe and relax... what has been Done can be Edit-Undo(ne)
2) save. save often. i cant stress this one enough. Go ahead, spend 5 hours on something cool and have the power go out before you save. see how hard you cry then. oh wait - that was ME ;) ..........SAVE........ it's worth it.
3) go ahead, rearrange your windows and stuff - you can always restore them to what they were... and you may find that different layouts work better for different style projects.
4) Experiment. Play with filters, actions, styles, patterns, gradients! Won't know what all they can do if you don't play.
5) There's more to this than meets the eye... A lot of tools are hidden under other tools. keep in mind you may have to hunt for them... not to mention the plethora of shortcuts!
6) don't give up. even Michelangelo had to learn how to draw a circle. and he didn't have a handy elliptical marquee tool w/ stroke to help!
7) layer styles can be your friend.
8) it is better to edit non-destructively whenever possible.
9) you can heal all manner of ills... between the healing tools & the clone stamp tool
10) most tools are very customizable - find the pallet/window for them and see what you can do!
