What is Photoshop?

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals and was one of the early "killer applications" on the Macintosh, later also for MS Windows.

Good site to start off with:

http://luv2help.com

The site above shows the basics of photoshop and basic tutorials.

In order to save your work so you can work on it again, you will have to save it as a PSD.


What is a PSD?

The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.


I myself will help you will tutorials within the PSD or sometimes I will make a thread about it. Here is a nice tutorial about gradients:
