[photoshop-beginners] super basic question, please don't throw things at me (unless it's chocolate)

Hi everyone,

Hubby bought me CS5 the other day, and I decided that I would jump in and try it out with a psd template I have.

the template is for a cd label, it has loads of layers, some graphic, some text, and the idea is that you personalise it with an image of your own.

now.. try as I might, i can't figure out how to replace the grey 'image goes here' layer with my own picture and resize it to fit.. I know it must be something super simple.. but it's driving me to near tears.

can anyone point me at a tutorial of some sort that is designed for dummy beginners??

I HAVE enrolled in a basics course, but it doesn't start for 3 weeks, and I really want to print this off before then :/

seek peace
