A selection of beginner-level tutorials let you become familiar with the interface and how to open and save a file. Image size, including the dimensions and resolution of your image, are also important to understand. These tutorials let you practice using common features such as layers, selections, color, text, and shapes.
It is recommended that you follow along in Photoshop while watching the tutorial videos. When available, use the "Download sample files" button, and save the .zip file to your computer.
