Just b/c I read it, I must get my 2 cents in on the black debate...
Yes it's true that black is more of an idea then an actuality (with the possible exception of a black hole, but this seems to violate every other law physics as well). It's like 0 Kelvin or infinity, it's not really something that can be attained in actuality, although we can get ridiculously close. But it's this very fact that also says that the black we use in art, whether it be charcoal or in photoshop, is not a true black either.
As far as it's effects in art, I have no idea, I'm more in the Math/Physics area of study. 
But I always love using complementary colours to create shadows.First thing people are going to say is to use the same size canvas the tut used. 
i try to stay away from solid black or white
they arent really colors, just shades and tints.
I usualy use a med-dark purple or blue layer set on lighten about 40ish% to avoid solid black
I think it looks better personaly.

O_ O
i'll cnc to make this post valid
@ reap it's not bad
i don't think theres really a "perfect" way to do that tutorial
it's more like a photomanip than your normal signature.. if that makes any sense
I think the idea is to make it look like your looking through a fancy computer helmet or something.
Either way, try using different stocks and resources on this one guys.
@ funk, thats a pretty long shot from the tutorial
Try redo-ing that one with a larger canvas.
