Here are a bunch of decent Photoshop tutorial links. I recommend that you use one or two of these tricks in your project to nab some “degree of difficulty” bonus points (see the rubric on the Project Sheet).

Of these links, I found the tricks offered in the first two especially useful (fade images together and extract filter). Remember, there are many ways to do any one thing with Photoshop. These are just suggested approaches that, in my experience, get pretty good results if done right. 

How to Fade Images Together
Cut Out Items Using the Extract Filter
Learn the Basics of Curves
Create a Zoom Effect
Easy Way to Straighten Images
Change Eye Color
Leave One Color in a Black and White Image
Type on a Curved Path

I found all of these tutorials to be extremely useful, especially cutting items using extract filter. It can be a very tedious process cutting and cleaning up a photo but the extraction process cuts the time in half. The other tutorials, which I thought was also very useful, were the basics of curves and typing on curves. After learning these processes, I’m going to incorporate typing on a curve into my DVD cover. However, most of these tutorials will not apply to either of my current projects but they are very useful anyhow. Photoshop is an amazing program that has revolutionized art and in many ways, every aspect of any multimedia endeavor.
