It's a good idea to get in the habit of applying Curves and Levels as adjustment layers rather than going through the menus as well. That gives you a lot more flexability later on.
In tip 7, he calls the Brush tool the Pen tool. In tip 10 he refers to the sharpen tool... I don't know where that would be used instead of unsharp mask... and unsharp mask is needed for print, too.
USM is quick. For "Gift Quality" printing, I use the High Pass filter and Hard or Soft light inclusion. Because you have a slider to scale the effect to the picture, the result is happily undetectable. There are several Web Tutorials on the subject, and once you have done it once, it's second nature.
Here's one that should've made the list:Use the Measure tool (listed under the eyedropper in CS) to get angles. The exact angle of the last ruler line you draw will show up in the Arbitrary Rotate Canvas dialogue box.VERY handy if you want to rotate your image exactly to a straight edge. (ie. the side of a building or the horizon)
