Yea, its possible I have a tut on that. Well, not mine, but I have on somewhere from when I was a newb, but its not so well detailed. I can upload for you if I find it, and ofcource if you need it. Oh and umm, blurs and brushes.
Polygonal Lasso Tool, eyedropper tool, blending options (overlay..etc) Marquee Tool, and the brush tool.
My favorite tool is the pen tool. That's basically the only tool I use... other than the gradient tool to test my cut on different backrounds.
