I get hit up all the time people asking me this or that about PS and I usually direct them to this site after I answer their question so they can learn even more.
Get the Master Kit CD - Rom it's down to $49.00 from $79.00

Check out some of the videos and you'll see how easy it is to learn.
Put the disc into a laptop and set it up near your desktop and watch the video while you actully do what he's doing in photoshop..it's that easy.
Anyway...just a tip for those who want to improve their PS skills.
