1: 6 specific keyboard shortcuts for photoshop:

1. Ctrl + T = gives you the ability to 'transform' the image you are working with in the move tool
2. Ctrl + CLICK = gives you the ability to add to to the already selected area
3. Ctrl + J = duplicates whatever you have selected remotely
4. Ctrl + CLICK on thumbnail in the layers tab = selects all opaque pixels in that layer
5. Ctrl + +/- = zoom in or out
6. Shift + E = eraser tool

2: free the octopus from the forest

I started out by selecting the octopus, and using Ctrl + J, I duplicated the octopus in a new later all to himself. I then deleted the layer that had the background in it. After that I zoomed in bunch using the Z key to get a better view of the currently dismembered octopus. then using the eyedropper tool (I) I selected the color of certain pixels and filled in the holes, reattaching his arms using a 1 pixel paintbrush.
