Nothing will work

[knuckleupz]

So I just bought my copy of Photoshop. I had been using the trial for the last month. (by the way this is my first semester in school and I have never used Photoshop before. Yes I am that ignorarit to Photoshop.) I am trying to follow tutorial for school working in channels. I open a new background, grab my brush tool, set my pixel size, click on my canvas..... NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!

Can someone please tell me how to fix this because I cant even do my assignment.

Thanks a Ton

P.S. The background is unlocked.

That sounds strange... try adding a new layer and see if you can paint on that..

Also are you sure that the foreground color is set to red?

Ok so this first screen shot is with my chanels tab open

This next one is with the layers channel open.
All I want to do is paing with my brush and it wont let me.
Please remember I have tried it with the background unlocked it is not working in either way
