maybe check out
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tag/basix/. If you decide you want to see better, more detailed examples, they have a 9 dollar monthly charge for the advanced tuts section. Could always spring for a month and check out the more advanced stuff to help determine if PS may be easy or not to use. sure, you're spending 10 bucks to watch tutes on software you don't have but it's probably a good investment before spending 600 bucks and being disappointed.
View some of their basic tutorials to get a better understanding of the PS interface etc to maybe compare it with what you are using now. They should have some video tuts you can watch for free in the basic section should you decide not to get a membership.
Best of luck to ya.
