Oh gosh, I forgot about textures in my levels thing.
So levels, renewed:
Beginner
-Cannot blend
-Image looks like it was made it Paint
-Brushes are used not at all or way too much
-No text, overly used text or ugly text; doesn't fit with the picture(s)
-Usually no textures used at all
-Do not know how to use layers very well, if at all
Beginner Intermediate
-Can blend, but only moderately well
-Images mostly look like they belong together (if blended together)
-Sometimes brushes are used way too much and cover the faces of the people or do not look right
-Text is used, but is sometimes the wrong size, font or there is too little/much of it.
-Sometimes uses textures, but they usually make it hard to see the original image
-Know how to use layers, but are just average with using them; haven't quite mastered opacity and layer modes.
Advanced Intermediate
-Can blend pretty well
-Images belong together well
-Brushes are used to the right extent, looks pretty natural
-Text is used well, the fonts work, the size works; and there is none if it doesn't work well
-Uses textures when needed, the textures usually work pretty well with the image if used
-If used, the textures make the image look better than before
-Knows how to use layers pretty well; knows how to work opacity and layer modes to get a cool effect with bunches of layers
Advanced
-Blending is excellent; the pictures look as if they were originally one picture; you can't tell the difference (except for the fact that you know they are different images or were different images)
-Brushes sometimes are used sometimes are not; but it doesn't matter, they look excellent either way
-Text is used, and whatever way it is used, it looks natural and right
-Uses textures when needed, the textures make the icon or sig look outstanding
-Knows how to use layers, opacity, and modes; and they know how to mess with all the various tools in the layer panel to make the icon/sig or whatever it is amazing
-Almost always use layers, even if its just to make an icon that's a base or a sig without messing with textures
-Overall look of the image is amazing; beautifully done
Basically, a person using Photoshop at an Advanced level has learned the rules of Photoshop, and has learned to break them to create their own style, and a new image that looks overly amazing to everyone who sees it.
@para: *Phew* Didn't want to offend you.
night: Thanks, glad you think my skillz at Photoshop are that great. ;D
@zink: I'd agree with that. I really think you should consider looking into learning how to blend, though.
This is an excellent tutorial; it's what taught me how to blend; and is an awesome tutorial on making a sig as well. ;D

@mzlazy: Awww, I think a lot of your stuff is awesome! Especially your manips and the sigs you have now, those are awesome!
Sometimes I think you overdo it with the brushes or the stroking of text, but otherwise I think your graphics are amazing!
