I don't know how to use Photoshop at all, but i'm making an effort to start. I have a few relatively dumb questions on getting started out.

1. Sometimes, when I try to import a .jpg or .png, it says it's not a Photoshop document so go to hell.

2. When I save an edited version of a former .jpg or .png, it tries to save it as a TIFF or PSD and gives me guff when I try to save it as PNG or JPG. What's up with that?

3. I'm having problems separating images from backgrounds flawlessly. Using magnetic lasso isn't working as well as I hoped it would. Do I have to just do layers? Any decent tutorials for layers you guys know of?
