I recommend Photoshop 7 for a beginner. Search the net for tutorials. It takes a while, but soon you'll not only be knowing the different actions, you'll be knowing keyboard shortcuts! And there are SO many different things you can do, I believe that NOTHING is impossible on Adobe. Heh heh you can PM me if you have troubles with it. I'm not a pro at it or anything...but...yeah I know some stuff lol.
