Default New Photoshop Ideas?!

So i basically use the same things in Photoshop... I open the pictures I do Brightness and contrast and Hue/Saturation and then I do the Photo Filter (warming filter to give myself a tan look haha). But I feel like i've been using this stuff too much! I need new ideas! And I know this is like my "style" or whatever but I feel like I need to branch out more. Any Ideas?

Thanks!
Lindsie

Two great replies already... I was going to suggest the levels and curves as well.

Levels and Curves are more foundation building, and will help you when you move into Masking and layers.

Good Luck!
