As far as you layers question, visit one of my favorite sites PhotshopEssentials.com, there there is an article that goes into layers:

Welcome! You'll find a fun, friendly bunch around here.

You have some nice images. Because a lot of members are on dialup, rather than posting the whole photo, we use Pixentral to post thumbnails...

Here's a link on how to do that

Just a suggestion, but make a copy of your picture and then play with the copy. Experiment to see what different things do (and that way you don't have to worry about messing up the original). I am new here too, but if you ask "how did you do that?" there is a flood of helpful answers streaming your way right away! Look to the podcasts as well for video tutorials. Search tech/elements.
