Learn Basic Photoshop Skills (Explained)

Photoshop, more like Protoshop ammirite? Although MS paint is superior in both entertainment value and quality of work, people just don't take you seriously! Crazy right! So I decided I would at least try and learn the basics so I could bluff my way through the next photoshop meet up (honestly though, I'm only there for the snacks). So how much is too basic? I have to learn what every single prodable button means on the side of the screen, and then some. I haven't really used it that much so I'm not too sure how difficult this will be, but I'm sure it can't be harder than paint (y)
