  1. Lights,Camera ,ACTIONS!
http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/photoshop/tutorials/createGalleryStylewActions.php

This tutorial was about creating a frame for your photos. I was silly and choose a photo I had taken that had a mainly black background.Whoops!
But I did learn a lot. Not only do I know understand what an action is, but I made one!



2.Eye-shadow effect.

Okay so I don't often find the need to add eye shadow to my photographs, but I figured it'd be fun to check this tutorial out so I could at least play with color in photoshop a bit, or at least touch up some pictures of my cat by adding some stunning turquoise eye shadow.
The basic concept was to have different color layers over the photo to create the affect of eye shadow. It was neat,though I don't know how often I'll be using it.

3.Creating Digital Tape

This tutorial showed me how to make digital tape and how to edit a cork board image and photos. It wasn't to complex, but it did help me learn more about how to add effects on the layers, so that was neat!

This tutorial gave you tips on how to improve your portraits with tips for how to use your camera and photoshop.
It explained the gaussian blur function on the background to adjust the background to a fuzzier state.

5. Making Skin Beautiful
http://www.tutiki.org/w/index.php/Beautiful_Skin_by_Czechman

This focused on removing flaws in the skin that can be seen in photographs. In photoshop it shows you how to remove or soften major flaws in the skin,
touching up undesired reflections and highlights ,apply a Gaussian blur to the skin to soften and blend it, and spot sharpening . It explains how to properly use the clone and blur tool, in such a way that you cant tell that editing was done in the photo.
