When I first started shooting... I didn't understand a ton of photoshop but until you're shooting in full manual all the time (after you understand the relationship between ISO, apature, and shutter speed), get into photoshop and find "Auto Levels". That'll help you for now. Later you'll hopefully learn to read that magical histogram to make sense of why things are they way they are.

Drop the apature (lower number), increase bokeh.
Open the apature (higher number), decrease the bokeh.
