I just stumbled across this series and it is a great start for those who are looking into making art with Photoshop or editing images.

Look for the show called PixelPerfect.

Enjoy.

Thanks for posting that link, Andrew. Burt Monroy is absolutely brilliant! He's an SF Bay guy, so I get to see him every once in a while (every time I can!). He's "Illustrator-oriented," but an absolute Photoshop master. Even if you're not drawing mind-boggling panoramas (or not drawing at all), you'll find many of his techniques will improve your Photoshop work.

I agree. I never really had a good understanding of alpha channels and their usage until I viewed some of his tutorials.

I just like the way he teaches. He doesn't presume you know everything. I like how he takes real world situations and applies his knowledge to them, and not just throw some "classroom" jargon at you. He fits my learning style perfectly.
