How do I enable Layers?

I installed the Full version of Photoshop Elements 11 and have a photo open?

I am a computer technician and have purchased my first ever photo editing program!!

My goal is to "Tan" people in portraits. I teach Ballroom dancing and a lot of us are too white in the photos.

I don't have Elements installed.
Elements has a different interface than Photoshop but I think the shortcuts and menus are similar.
The Windows pull down menu makes the layers pallet visible it doesn't create a Layer.

Layers|New will create a new layer or Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on the Mac) will duplicate a layer.
Why you're seeing grayed out options in the Windows pull down I don't know.
All the Windows options are available in PS with or without an image loaded.
