I have one thing to add - OC 1 is a good first tester - and for something to try out what it's like to use photoshop, do a google search for the GIMP 2.2. It's a free program that works very similarly to photoshop. It's actually what I use almost exclusively, since I find it far less complicated, easier to use, and actually in a lot of ways better quality than even the newest photoshop. It's a good test-out program to see if you like computer play.
