Help with Adobe PHOTOSHOP!!?
I need to do a published ad for an online college course. I am very new to this program, and do not know how to work it. I have made a sketch of the picture I want and it lets me paste it onto photoshop, however it doesn't let me paint the sections I want with a bucket... the only thing it will let me do is go over each detail with a paintbrush, which will take me all day and it will not come out neat. Is there any other way of doing this???
If not I found some images online to use, however I try to paste them on the document and it will not let me paste one picture on top of the other. For example copy a character and paste him on top of another image copied of a mountain... It will just seperate it into two documents.. It keeps telling me first layer second layer. I am lost please help!!! Any knowledge would be so greatly appreciated!! 10 points to best answer!!!
Hey Florence.. Thank you so much for your help!! You actually solved my issue. I just have one more question for you... On top of my sketch I am trying to paste an image from the internet. How would I do that? It seems when I try to, it pastes it in another layer. It does the same with the text box... When do all these layers actually come together so I can see the finished project?

Photoshop works using layers. The scan that you have just pasted on the canvas is one layer, so in order for you to fill areas in, you need to section them off from the rest of the whole layer.
I would say the easiest way to do this is to use the magic wand tool and click on one area you want to fill with a colour.
This will select the area with a dotted line, then get the paint bucket tool and fill in the colour. Once you have completed it, deselect it and go on to select the next section.
If you want to be more 'tidy' incase of any accidents, once you select an area, duplicate it as a new layer so then you can switch between layers easily but this isn't needed for something small and easy.
The best way to learn how to use photoshop is to just play around with it yourself, and of course make use of all the tutorials online.
There are lots of step-by-step videos on youtube that shows you how to do basic stuff and then complex stuff too.
Hope this helps.
