It depends on what you want to do. There are currently 4 versions of Photoshop:
* Photoshop CS4 Extended * Photoshop CS4 * Photoshop Lightroom 2 * Photoshop 7 Elements (Mac version is 6) * Photoshop.com If you just want to "try your hand," at graphic design, then Photoshop CS4 Extended is a bit overkill for you needs. Photoshop Lightroom 2 is geared toward professional photographers, so that's not really what you would need either.
That leaves Photoshop CS4, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop.com. Of those, Photoshop CS4 is going to be the most expensive, and the most powerful. Photoshop.com offers a basic online photo editor, and from what I can tell is free. Photoshop Elements is somewhere between CS4 and .com in terms of power.
I'd recommend trying out Photoshop.com, and if that doesn't suit your needs, to try Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS4. Adobe provides free trials of both on their site.
You can learn graphic design and image editing in Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop is better for editing photos, naturally. Adobe Fireworks is better for graphic design such as logos.
A career in graphic design requires a college degree. Specialization is Photoshop training will depend on the degree program you chose. I would recommend researching colleges and the programs they offer. A specialization in Photoshop may also depend on your future employer as well. http://graphicdesigndegrees.org/
CorelDRAW is specially used for emblems and commercial enterprise cards, however Photoshop is used to feature computer graphics to images. Photoshop is almost continually used for net layout and CorelDRAW stays an essential factor of Graphic Design.
If you are going to use a tablet for things like interior design and graphic design and need something that is compatible with Illustrator and Photoshop then I would aim for a Windows based tablet or an iPad. You can't get any better than Apple when dealing with graphics.
Designers usually use Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator for their designs. Anyway this question is difficult to understand. What You actually want to design?
