Where can I find a good online tutorial for Adobe Photoshop Elements 6?

I've seen some youtube videos, but I'm looking for the artsy kind of photoshop stuff. Help, please?Where can I find a good online tutorial for Adobe Photoshop Elements 6?
These are for Elements 6 and 7. You won't be able to do the ones that require the Action Player or the Scene Cleaner that are on the first page but you should be able to do the others.

The really artsy stuff (like you see on Deviant Art) is a product of someone's imagination/creativity and their knowledge of the program they're using. Once you learn to use all the tools and especially the Filters, Layer Styles and Effects menus, you'll be able to do most of the Photoshop tutorials you see. I finally reached that point after using the program for a couple of years and it's really fun - and very challenging.





You'll also end up collecting add-ons like plugins, gradients, Layer Styles (my weakness), fonts, brushes (another addiction) and actions to add some muscle to Elements. The people who create those great pieces of photo art aren't using the program they installed right out of the box. They've added all kinds of extras to it. You install these extras directly into specific folders in Program Files. The exact pathway depends on 1. Your operating system and 2. the version of Elements you're using. Here are a couple of fun ones (and they're self-installing - Yea!!!):

(scroll down for the 4 free sets of plugins) The Filter Forge plugins are really fun. Open an image, tweak the basics, open one the FF plugins and first select the kind of effect you want from the choices on the first tab, then click on the Settings tab and start sliding sliders. (And yes, they say ';Photoshop'; but they work great in my Elements 6.)





You'll find the installed plugins in the Filter Menu.





Well, this went beyond tutorials but I hope some of it is helpful. Just keep using the program and you'll be a master photo art maker before you know it.Where can I find a good online tutorial for Adobe Photoshop Elements 6?
