I have recently discovered www.photowalkthrough.com - a site which offers free video tutorials for photoshop.
The quality of these tutorials is excellent. The most recent ones are available in 800*600 mov files or 320*240 ipod optimised files. They are clear, easy to understand and well narrated. All in all a very good resource, backed up with an active Flickr group.
I reccomend anyone with an interest in photo manipulation checks this site out.

The D50 (and other Nikons) is capable of placing a comment in the EXIF data on all images that it takes. This can easily be used to place a basic copyright notice on all your photos.
To use this feature, switch the camera on and enter the menu.
Go to the Spanner Icon
Find the menu item titled “Image Comment”
Enter this sub menu
Select “Input Comment”
Enter your comment - the copyright symbol is not available, so I used (c). Press enter to save the comment.
Finally Ensure the “Attach Comment” checkbox is ticked.
Thats it! All your images will now feature the comment within the EXIF data.

Sunset shot (can you see a theme here :-)) of Southport Pier. The pier now features a rather ugly modern coffee shop at the bottom rather than its old Victoran era buildings which were burnt down. Looks preety good from this distance though..
Taken with a Nikon D50, 1.6 sec at f/4.2 and the camera was rested on a handy concrete wall due to a lack of tripod.

Sunset at Ainsdale beach. You can just see the lights of an off shore Oil Rig in the centre of the frame.
Taken with my Nikon D50 with the 18-55mm kit lens, and a Slik Tripod.
