Glenn Feron - The Art of Retouching

Although short (entirely lacking, in fact) on information as to how these effects are generated, this site has a reasonable number of magazine style photos, showing you the photo from before retouching, and after.

One of the big things I take away from this site is that yes, photo touching can add to an image, and bring out the best - but it helps if the image you start from is good.

Don't rely on photoshop magic to make up for poor photography - get your photography right, then make it even better in photoshop.

That's the tricky bit.
