1. To add text, just click on the T tool - that's your text tool. You can draw a box right on the picture and then type away. It will automatically create a new layer for the text.

2. You can have both pictures open, then click on the Move tool (arrow with cross hairs) on the top right, and just drag the picture onto the heart background. It will automatically create a new layer for the picture you dragged in. You can then scale the picture you brought in by going to Edit, Transform Path, Scale. If you hold the Shift key while bringing your corners in or out, it will size it proportionally (sp?).

Make sense??

Make a new layer.

You can use the Polygonal Lasso Tool (first one, second row) and select what you want to color. Then fill it in with color and then you can adjust the opacity of the layer to get whatever feel you're looking for.
