Give us an example of what you would like to start with and maybe we could talk you through it but the best way is to go to the tutorials like Jenel suggested. For me, it was just a matter of playing with it and learn as you go. Go through and read posts as there are a lot of answers to questions on them.
Forgot to add, that when you first get the software it looks very intimidating but it is really not. Take this from someone who is very challenged in that area lol.
