Any basic tips on using photoshop?

[CODMAN]

Hi all, I'm starting to play around with my images taken during my recent dive trip, and basically, I know very little about Photoshop and the main functions to improve images! I'm not looking to make world class images. Just improve the ones that aren't all that great but are great memories. So far, the only functions I've used with confidence are "auto-levels" for the color and "auto-contrast".

Are there other easy manipulations I should know about? Are there any relatively simple guides on this site or the web for making basic improvements you could point me to?

Thanks in advance for your help!
