Tip
One: Russell
Brown's Fun With Photoshop.
 Russell
Brown may have spent years as Adobe's Senior Creative Director,
but at heart he is a showman. Russell's live Photoshop presentations
combine elements of vaudeville, magic, and comedy -- topped with
phenomenal technical savvy. If you ever have an opportunity to catch
his act in person, don't miss out.
Russell
has an "official, experimental" website with 40+ QuickTime
movies of his tips and techniques. They don't catch the full flavor
of the live show, but even the most hardened Photoshop expert is
likely to pick up a few tricks. Check them out:

In
addition, on Russell's website you'll find a series of QuickTime
movies demonstrating his preferred color settings for printing to
an Epson Stylus 2200 printer (our recommended color printer from
Tip
#30). They are less entertaining, but quite useful:
Printing
from Photoshop CS
Printing
from Adobe Illustrator CS
Printing
from Adobe InDesign CS
Printing
from Adobe Acrobat

I had the opportunity to see Russell in action years ago when I
spoke at a Photoshop conference in San Francisco. Russell is the
most entertaining Photoshop presenter I've seen. As he says, "Learning
should never be boring!" - Craig.]
