Start with the menus you'll probably use most at first:
Image -> adjustments -> levels
Image -> image size ->
Filter -> sharpen
and in the tools panel:
Crop
Ruler (to straighten horizons, etc)
There are hundreds of websites catering to Photoshop techniques, but the best way to get into it is to just dive in.
Using Photoshop full version to make minor editing tweaks to photos is overkill, but now that you've got it, you might as well get the most use out of it. As you gain confidence, you'll learn how to make selections, add layers, build collages and start having fun with your creativity. It's addictive - be forewarned!
The PS elements program works just fine for most people.
