I would suggest you not to panic, try to learn about the tools first then start with the basic editing. Dont try to learn everything in one day. It takes time to be expert in photoshop.

Hi, I asked the same question when I didn't know how to work with photoshop. At last I found a big video course consisted of hundreds lessons. Day by day I study this programm and learnt to work. If you need to add frame or effects you should better to use loonapix.com. It's much easier than Photoshop. Good luck!

Learning Photostop Resources

I am the opposite and am not super pro video tutorials, but they do have their place. They are nice if you are just breezing through or killing time but to really learn photoshop and have more memory retention I would recommend standard tutorials, books, etc. Also taking it one project at a time and you will learn a ton. Some of my favorite resources are:

Sorry about the added tags in my reply, but this editor is terrible when trying to add multiple links.
I really tried to give you some good info though Happy
