What is the best adobe photoshop CS2 tutorial for beginners?

[jonojo]

I want to learn how to do basic things on adobe photoshop CS2? For example, how can I draw basic things like lines, squares, circles, and shapes? (also cut, paste, etc) What are some tips that will save me a lot of time, and what are some common mistakes and things to avoid? And how can I learn how to use layers properly? Keep in mind that the only drawing software I know how to use is the old "mspaint" on windows. thanks

Moved to appropriate forum. Please do not post questions in the tutorials section.

A book would be a good idea. Plus, there are numerous free online tutorials if you just run a search.

Don't get scared, most of it uses brushes which you can download and most of the tutorials are easy to follow because they really show you the process step by step.

*There are some tutorials which are hard to understand, so for the meantime just don't do those.
