will have to take a look i definitely do much better with video tuts then text. Any tutorial in particular you would recomend for a beginner.
Well there are these two, from Digital Tutors:

The first one is an entire modeling, mapping, texturing and rendering extravaganza, done with Maya, but the entire 3rd CD is devoted to texturing in Photoshop. I bought that one about two years ago when you could still buy their disks or download the whole thing. And it deals with pretty much every feature in Photoshop you need to know in order to do such a thing.
And the second, though it's for a dinosaur, deals mostly with Photoshop and the same techniques.
Things have changed for Digital Tutors though. Now you have to buy a subscription for a month, six months, or a year, but you have access to every video they have during that time. It's not very expensive, but it's all streaming - no downloading. And they have loads and loads of excellent stuff, including many texturing videos using Photoshop.
Gnomon Workshop is a little more specialized though and deals mostly with Maya and ZBrush and Photoshop. A lot of their videos are sped up while someone is lecturing and I don't really consider much of it to be beginner level.
