NEW to MAC...So NEW and need Iphoto help

[DLS63]

I could use my PC with my eyes closed but am finding the Mac a little difficult to transition into.
IPhoto is giving me fits. When I pull up my photos (which I am still trying to adjust to the file system) I am looking to Edit but all I have are thumbnails at the bottom and nothing within the larger black screen. I have click and have tried everything and I can't get the picture into the center screen to edit. May seem like a logical answer here, but it seems as though something is way off. PLEASE help!

Use picasa for Mac instead.

I did double click...I think I will look into PS8 as that is what I am very familiar with. I would just like to figure this out though its killing me!

The video is nice but I have watched more than enough videos now and my issue is still there, I can see below the pictures I have in IP, but I can't get them onto the larger box to edit--they are just not there.

Interesting. I have used Picasa in the past. I may check it out.

I doubt that.

Apple store has free support and free workshops. Maybe you should have them take at look at your vague problem that other people don't experience.

And I will just do that...It beats coming here with a perfectly legit question of a simple problem and get a snotty tech guy like yourself. Maybe you should just ignore these types of questions that you are obviously far more intelligent to answer anyway! Geez! Sorry if I am not savvy enough here. I will find elsewhere to get answers. sad.
