Does anyone know of a web forum where photographers discuss Photoshop tips, tricks, etc., that apply to fine-art digital photo work? The Photoshop forums I've seen so far tend to be about drop shadows and filters and stuff that's not very relevant to photographic imaging.

Michael Reichmann's Luminous Landscape site has a forum area with a Digital Imaging category. The conversation tends to be more equipment oriented, though Photoshop questions come up quite frequently:

Michael's site gets enough visitors that you should be able to get answers to questions relatively quickly. As for general tips & tricks, I use the following two sites:

http://www.creativepro.com http://www.carlvolk.com/photoshoptips.asp

Beyond that, I use Martin Evening's "Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers" (the same book is also still available for version 5.5). It's a pretty heavy duty book, but you won't find a more complete reference for information that's specific to the needs of photographers.

Sorry, those two sites looked like they were on a separate line. Let me try to make these usable links:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/discus/index.html

http://www.creativepro.com

http://www.carlvolk.com/photoshoptips.asp

(apologies in advance if I screwed that up!)

In Yahoo Groups, try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint? yguid=60565957 for black and white
