Valerie Inshan posted some very useful links in this thread http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Building-and-Texturing-Forum/Tutorials/td-p/1380477 You should have a look there as well

What you do is open up the box they're in, then mark say a-c textures, drag them into your inventory, and do the same for d-f, and so on and so forth, that way you'll know you have them all, as well as you won't have to wait for SL to figure out there're more waiting. It's a bit more arbitrary, but it saves you a lot of grief as opposed to just keep copying contents into your inventory.

I really like Dr. Brown's tutorials. They are ideal for your purpose as well, as teaching you a lot of useful techniques. http://russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html Just scroll down to the CS2 section Another very cool series is You Suck at Photoshop - hard to concentrate on the actual tutorials, though <.<
