I find Epson matte paper-heavyweight to provide the best combination of
wisely and feel for my images of abstracts and people.  For a rare image
that has internal "sparkle" then the Epson premium glossy does a great job
of well  glistening.  I have not been able to feel good about the limited
number of other papers that I have tried: Kodak, Ilford,and Luminos in the
main.  However I think the content of your images will drive what paper
works for you.

Regarding photoshop the best way to learn is sit down and use the tools, you
are only burning electrons.  With that said, I've found the following link
very useful as a postgraduate course.
