Ever wanted to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop, but had no idea where to start? Let's get the tutorial started...

Click File > New, and create a new image of any size you desire.
1 – Setting Adobe Photoshop's Undo option
Press Ctrl+K to bring up the Preferences window. (In Adobe Photoshop 5.0, you'll need to click on the Settings tab, on the File menu.)
Change your "Redo Key" to Ctrl+Shift+Z. This enables you to press Ctrl+Z while working to undo your last actions. Remember this.
2 – Using Adobe Photoshop's Layers window
The Layers window shows the various layers that your image is made up of.
To make a new layer, click the New Layer button, as shown by the red arrow.
To work on a different layer, click on that layer. The eyeball will apear next to that layer.
You can drag layers up and down the list.
Remember – create a new layer for each part of your image. This allows you to go back and edit the layers individually.

If You are Interested then i will continue....

I have an old version of Photoshop, but I do not wnat to buy a newer version until I learn more about what I have. I know a few things---basic crop, basic curves, filters etc. Most I have learned by just playing with them.

However, I really need some basic instruction and the "help" just does not seem to sink in. I cannot even figure out how to use layers

What would anyone recommend as either a book or an online Photoshop for Dummies type instructions for my old Photoshop.

Thanks
