Being wary of the actual setting of the screenshot helps as well. For example, this was in Ul'dah at night, so I gently eased the tone towards something orange-ish to imitate lantern light. Sapping a bit of contrast from the image can also soften things up and help make the dodge tool pop a bit more, where as adding contrast will really flush the colors out and if you add too much, start to alias and muddy up the image pretty badly. Light really helps set the mood overall, though, and that's important with modifying screenshots.

Really, I tend to just learn most from either having a friend give me some random tip, or by just playing with tools randomly.

You should play around with it!! It's very fun, though you spend more time separating things onto different layers / or making many different alpha maps than you do playing with filters/paints etc. Once you've got the selection stuff done though it's very fun!
