I'd ask how to make such a killer site such as www!.americandischord!.com for starters!!! j/k!. Ok, I'd probably focus on all you mentioned AS WELL as creating Layered and Textured borders, different filters and their uses on art and photos, rendering techniques, and definitely the Paintbrush/Pen/and Airbrush settings; how to make them appear more hand drawn or original!. There's a ton of techniques out there and I know from experience how to do things my way, but there's always more than one 'concrete' way to do any function in photoshop, that's for sure! I'd probably also request that they show how to apply photoshop files in Illustrator and the pros and cons for both programs to create awesome imagery!. Are you taking or teaching a class!.!.!.

The first I think is the most important!.!.!.
Teach people about levels, curves, sharpening and cropping to use PS to compose a really nice image (even if the basic source material isn't so great)!. Use of the histogram to help people understand light and what the image will look like printed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
