Tools > Shape Tools: Don't underestimate the shape tools, with fill you can use them to build up clean shapes (I use them for vid border in stead of simple strokes that tend to pixilate on corners) or with/without a fill to make a selection (Layer window > Path tab > right click path > Make selection)

Tools > Healing / Patch / Clone Stamp Tool: Very handy for cleaning away lines, text, all sorts of things from box art for example Tools > Quick Selection Tool: 'THE tool to deep-etch image parts like a game title over a background' If not, use the Pen-Tool! (it's the easy way out tool, but with more complex images you might end up spending more time refining the cut/edges than using the pen-tool) Tools > Magic Wand: Only use this for (high res) images with a high contrast between the art and the background, preferably a solid background. Tools > Pen Tool: Learn it, love it! It's the most essential tool to learn for making cuts/selections Great for clearing objects, text etc from larger surfaces like skies or grassДЇilter > Blur > Motion Blur / Radial Blur: Create illusion of movement (often best applied on a duplicate layer on top of the original one)ДЇilter > Blur > Surface Blur: Blur the surface to get rid of noise (don't overdo it)ДЇilter > Noise > Add Noise: Add noise for a grainy (texture) effectДЇilter > Noise > Reduce Noise: Reduce (color) noise (I prefer this over Surface Blur, also don't overdo it) Select > Refine Edge: Lets you edit the selection by smoothing/feathering the selection and shift the selection up to 50 pixels (good for selection that need to be smoothed or a gradual/blurry transition into transparency, like hair)Д®dit > Fill (Content-Aware): Fill a selection and PS will guesstimate what should've been there and fill the selection with that. Layer > Matting > Defringe / Remove Black Matte / Remove White Matte: Remove fringes/matting/halos from the outside of a anti-aliased image Image > Adjustments > Gradient Map: Applies a gradient by using the lightness and darkness values in the image as a map for how the gradient colors are applied Image > Adjustments > Replace Color: Change hue on a color/color range Image > Adjustments > Selective Color: Change cyan/magenta/yellow/black levels on red/yellow/blue/magenta/white/neutral/black Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer: As name implies Image > Adjustments > Color Balance: Add or subtract colors Image > Adjustments > Vibrance: Adjust vibrance & saturation Image > Adjustments > Levels: Often the better way to adjust brightness & contrast

Other than that, practice is the best way to get better, don't know how to do something, look up those tutorial vids, google or ask one of our theme/wheel creators here on the forum. com one-on-one CS6 training/tutorial dvd's (Get it at /search/lynda%20com%20one%20on%20one%20cs6/0/99/0) Especially the chapter on the Pen-Tool is essential. For people trying to get better at Photoshop I really recommend the Lynda.
