A week ago or so, I saw someone post this tutorial here on creating a cross processing effect... It mostly uses curves, and it uses curves in ways I would not imagine doing on my own.

Anyone know of any other good tutorials or techniques for interesting color effects? especially those legal in basic, but even those that aren't

I take it you've looked at the tutorials here on DPC ?

Scroll down the page to the 'post processing' section.

...or the Urban Acid action that will take a lot less effort?

I use Curves almost exclusively for color adjusting and color-shifting. I love to experiment using radical curves in the individual color channels.

This gallery has a few examples:

These galleries have step-by-step examples of a couple of images, including screenshots of the curves graph:

Here are direct links to two Tutorials (here at DPC):
