Hi
vozizm and welcome to the board! [righton]
You came exactly to the right place
We have a lot of members who are very willing to answer your questions!
You'll find that out soon
Don't be afraid to ask anything you want. We have members with all kind of experience on our board; absolute beginners, more experienced users, but also some real gurus!
Most of us understand how overwhelming Photoshop can be for newcomers... any of us was in that same situations at one time.
Some advices:[list][*] buy a good book
Use the board's search option and search for
Photoshop book... you'll probably find all the answers you need and if not...ask
[*] go easy in the beginning
Don't try to go too fast; you'll only get disappointed.
Take it step by step... learn the interface first and then try to learn a new tool/effect every few days.
[*] practice/experiment
Very important!
Don't read what a tool does, but also experiment with it.
Try
Photoshopgurus' tutorials... you'll learn a lot from them. If you have a problem with one of the tutorials... no problem, just drop a question on this board and you'll get an answer as soon as possible...guaranteed!
You might also consider to use a search engine like Google. Type for example:
photoshop tutorial "crop tool" to search for tutorials that you're interested in.
We also have a thread that contains some interesting links;

Sometimes we have some challenges on the board. My advice; join them, practice. Try to compete with yourself, try to improve.
Make sure that you always learn something and it doesn't matter how little it is. Don't look ahead of you to see what you haven't learnt, but look back to see what you have
[*] ask/read
That's what we have this board for
[*] and the most important thing; have fun!
Don't try to learn things that you don't really need. Be focused and above all... have just plain fun on this board.[/list:u]Again... nice to have you here
