Answer 1

drag the picture into photoshop

Answer 2

Your photo when first opened in Photoshop will appear in the Layer palette as "Background".  There are many editing features which can not be done on the Background layer because that is the way it is.

Do this, first open and save under a different name so you don't loose the original.  Then either -- double click on the Background layer and accept the name Layer 0  or menu Layer > Duplicate Layer.  In both cases you will have a layer that all functions of Photoshop maybe applied.

Secondly, menu Edit > Mode.  If it is not RGB, click on RGB to convert it.  Indexed and grayscale images do not have all the same function available as RGB images.

Answer 3

Open photoshop then click and drag the picture to the photoshop window and it will open it or click file then open and navigate to yoour picture and  there you are

(Mac OS) Choose File > Open, and choose All Documents from the Show pop‑up menu. Then select the file you want to open, choose the desired file format from the Format pop‑up menu, and click Open.

Photoshop uses plug‑in modules to open and import many file formats. If a file format does not appear in the Open dialog box or in the File > Import submenu, you may need to install the format’s plug‑in module.

Sometimes Photoshop may not be able to determine the correct format for a file. This can happen, for example, because the file has been transferred between two operating systems. Sometimes a transfer between Mac OS and Windows can cause the file format to be mislabeled. In such cases, you must specify the correct format in which to open the file.

You can retain (where possible) layers, masks, transparency, compound shapes, slices, image maps, and editable type when bringing your Illustrator art into Photoshop. In Illustrator, export the art in the Photoshop (PSD) file format. If your Illustrator art contains elements that Photoshop doesn’t support, the appearance of the artwork is preserved, but the layers are merged and the artwork is rasterized.
