Feb. 06, 2004 - Help with Photoshop

Ok. I need to learn Photoshop. I have the program, I do not know how to use it.

I need this so I can muck around with images for our marketing strategy for this year, and if we can manipulate the graphics and ad text ourselves, it will save $$$ and that means I get more $$$$. Oh and what is the difference between Image Ready and Photoshop? I have both of them and they look the same to me, I guess. um yea. so help?

Any suggestions?
