I agree...
As I became more familiar with photoshop, I started to see the same things over and over again on sites and I knew exactly how they were done.
I started to just read some good books and mags outlining various effects. Playing around with combined effects, is what really came around for me. I'm no whiz at photoshop, but I have all the basics down pat and know the diff effects well enough to know what will go with what. I just need to play with my toys more often.
Most abused? Curves, saturation, bevel, noise whatever...Should be used more? Sharpness, selective blur, masks, seperate layers for each and every little thing you do.
peace...Paul
