another really cool tool is the clone stamp tool.
if you want to get rid of something in a pic, choose that stamp and hold control then click on an area you want to clone or copy, then say you want to get rid of a bird in your pic. after you hold control and click in a bare space, then click on the bird and move your mouse around until the bird is gone. all it does is copy what you told it to by control-clicking and cover your unsightly bird.

You can use it to remove features from the face too, like eyes and such. Makes a really cool effect.
