I have some random questions about Photo Shop...
1. Do you have to pay for the program?
2. How do you use Photo Shop?
3. How can you make special effects on pictures?
Also, Anything that is helpful about the program would be apprechiated because I know nothing about it whatsoever and would really like to learn. :)
Thank you (link)

You do have to pay for Adobe Photoshop, and it's rather expensive at a whopping $699 for the lastest version (cs4) on the Adobe website. You might be able to get a cheaper copy on Amazon.com, but I wouldn't expect to pay less than hundreds of dollars.
As far as learning to use it, there are plenty of free tutorials on the internet. Just go to Google.com and type in "Free Photoshop Tutorials" and several sites will be returned for you to choose from. There are also many books that will teach you to use Photoshop, and you can probably find a lot of them on Amazon.com as well.
There is an OpenSource alternative that is 100% free of cost called "GIMP" or "The GNU Image Manipulation Program". It is quite different from Photoshop, but can do a lot of the same things. You can download it at:
http://www.gimp.org/
You can also go to Google.com and search for "GIMP Tutorials" and find some helpful sites that will teach you to do these "special effects" on pictures. I don't have as much experience with GIMP as I do with Photoshop, but I hope this helps at least a bit!
