Have NO IDEA how to do ANYTHING with it- no idea what the tools are, how to work with layers, blend images, insert txt, shadow, anything LOL

Have been making graphis for a long time with a smaller programme called picture it.... and I have wanted photoshop for years... now I have it and need some help LOL

Welcome oud_equestrian 8))

My advice to you; get yourself a descent Photoshop book or video course. It's important that you understand the basics before you can describe what your problems are and to avoid that you understand the solutions that people will give you. The basics are also a great foundation for the future.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book is good and for videos you can consider Lynda.com ($145 for Photoshop CS3 Essentials) or
25$/month for a subscription plan. Trust me, only hanging around on forums and doing online Photoshop tutorials is not a good start, first start with the basics.
