I am brand new to Photoshop and I am coming into it with a few years of being used to Paint Shoppe Pro. So I know it is going to be a struggle for me.

I am going to have a lot of questions. For starters, when you open a file, how do you see the length and width of the image easily?

So far I see where I can click on the little arrow button at the bottom frame of the window that contains the image and I click on the menu item for "Show" and then select "Document Dimensions" but it displays in inches and not in pixels.

under the eye dropper/color sellector is a measuring stick icon for measuring point to point, you can right click on the pictures title bar > image size,
click on image on the menu bar > image size,
click on view on the menu bar select rulers, right click on a ruler to choose between, inches, mm, cm, pixels, points etc

You need a pixel ruler calibrated to your monitor size and resolution.
