Check under Image in the menu bar that it is set for RGB color not Index. Index allows only black and white.

Actually, the photo of your friend is a layer, you need to click on the layer menu heading and merge down, then you can do whatever you want in the blank space.

And there is help in PhotoShop, it's listed under the Help menu.
And explains each tool and what it does.
