Examples:

There are too many. Deke McLelland did an excellent "Top 40" a while back that covers a lot of ground, and any of those is a candidate.
Currently, I'd say that Smart Objects and Mask Edge are my current hot favorites, but there are a great many core capabilities I couldn't live without, layers, blending modes and opacity masks being right up there at the top.
Opacity masks. Before I discovered 'em compositing was a nightmare, particularly with any kind of photorealism. Being able to control the alpha of each layer, particularly with a soft edge, makes life oh-so-easier.
Layers pallet. Once upon a time there were no such critter and the widows and orphans would gnash teeth and rend hair as the handful of designers around the world struggled with channel addition and subtraction.
I don't think I could ever explain how game changing layers were for Photoshop users.
