Thanks for all recommendation!

I've been using Kelby Training. It's a subscription service, but I've learned quite a bit there.

Re: retouching tutorials

Tutorial authors tend to specialize. Some focus on masking, some on tonal minipulation, some on skin and beauty retouching, some on compositing, and so on. So it's hard to find a single source.

One of the best, and highest rated sites is Lynda.com. The tutorials there are all professionally done, and they cover a wide range of topics. Lynda is also a fee based site, but there are many free tutorials there.

Another good source is russellbrown.com. His presentation style is irritating to most people, but he covers some good "advanced" techniques.

I find some good stuff at this site: http://www.msjphotography.com/, but look in the older archives. Like most authors, Mark Johnson is running out of material, so his newer stuff is mostly about obscure "artistic" effects.

Deke McClleand has some good ones at http://www.deke.com/. But just like Mark, he ran out of material long ago, so his newer stuff is quite obscure.
