Answer
Hi Cindy - this will take more room and interaction than this site is meant for. I run a forum that deals with all kinds of Photoshop questions. Register there and the community will be able to help you out as you go (I'll be there, too).

Copy and paste that into your browser, and sign up. Once your membership is done, create a new thread to describe your project. Be sure to include your current version of Photoshop, whether you're using Mac or PC, and if possible, samples of the images. It will take several steps, but we'll do our best to get you there :)
