Extensis Phototools:

Photobars supplement for Phototools:

Fred Miranda's "Edge Sharpening" and "Digital Velvia" Photoshop actions:
http://www.fredmiranda.com/Action_profilesPage/index.html
As many Photoshop tutorials as you can get your hands on. Just a few examples:

"Having" Photoshop is just the beginning. If you don't learn to use well, you might just as well have Elements 2 or something like that. I've been using Photoshop for many years (maybe 10?), and signed up for a course in it at the local junior college this semester. I had, by-the-way, taken a 3-day course in it a few years ago.
Incidently, I've not been a casual user of it. I use it daily in my photography and desktop publishing business. I also use Pagemaker and Freehand regularly and other graphics software to a lesser degree (Canvas, Fireworks, etc.). If I can learn A LOT about Photoshop after all these years, my guess is that most any casual user of it can learn a lot too. So my suggestion is to take a course in it at your local college if it's offered. I'd have never guessed there was so much I DIDN'T know about Photoshop until I took this course.
