Photoshop: the next level

oooh uuuh, i think i know some, i work in painter sooo... might be alittle different but not too much.

First of all don't use a blur tool for soft edges alot, you can achieve the same effect by taking a soft or hard brush and simply flicking the edge to make it soft, lasso tool to make it insanely sharp.

Try to use color balance/correct whenever you introduce a new layer and play around with it to try to find a more harmonious color before committing it.

For an easy way to add more realistic form and contrast, create a multiply layer or a lower opacity normal layer and fill it with a dark color over the area, then erase it out. verehin demonstrates this:

hard brushstrokes just work alot better than airbrushey stuff, even though airbrush is more forgiving.

constantly move that color wheel to different hues, with every new stoke.

Annddd try to avoid overlay layers at all costs unless you're doing fire or magic or something!
