Try combining one image with another to create a whole new photograph. Try converting colour photographs to black and white and then using photoshop to colourize the photo for a hand painted effect. Play with some of the filters. If used properly they can add a nice touch to many photos.... Try scanning in older images that were excellent but had one or two probelms. Fix the problems and you now have the photo you always wanted. I did this with a couple of fox photos I took at twilight with a flash. Some of the fox shots exhibited green eye. They were excellent accept for the green "flash" eyes. I fixed that and they are great shots..
