I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials on getting started with editing with photoshop? I don't know exactly where to begin (Or what to do) with editing renders. If you know any for beginners then that would be good so I can start somewhere.

    I take it you don't have one specifically to recommend? :P
    Also is there any must haves in CS6? I currently have CS3

    no CS3 will do fine. I use CS2. As for particular tuts sorry no as there are so many out there on the net. What you need to ask yourself is what are you wanting to do. Make the colours more deeper, lighten the image, sharpen the image etc etc. Answer those then you can start to find the tuts you need.

    I would say I'm looking to sharpen the image/model and making her hair look more naturally like real hair

    There you go.

    Well the first one is easy. This is how I sharpen an image.

    Take your render in to PS, copy the render, making a new Layer (right click on render and Duplicate)
    Select the duplicate and go to Filters > High Pass set the pixels to between 1 and 4. I find 1 or 2 to be enough.
    Set the Blend mode for the duplicate to Overlay (top of the layers palette)
    And then set he layer Opacity to say 50% and see how that looks

    I usually paint in my own details in photoshop to make a character's hair look right. DeviantArt and Youtube are great places to learn how to do that. Also check out this thread here at DAZ - In the first post there is a link to a youtube video and in the third post there is another video and a PDF that you can use. It's great because with DAZ hair you'll already have a base and you can just add details over the top of it.

    Udemy has a lot of PS courses, some are free. If you sign up you often get some huge discount offers that works for most, sometimes all, of their courses.

    Actually they have a lot of discounted courses right now (deal expires 11:59PM PST, July 23), up to 98% off. Among them a $499 PhotoShop course with very good reviews which I'm signing up for myself (first one on the list):
