Manga Studio ex 4 help please...

General
hi everyone,
I just got a new computer and will "hopefully" be back to work on Changes and other titles soon but, as my copy of photoshop did not load onto the new system I had to find a replacement. I found Manga Studio 4 EX which many told me was a great alternative to photoshop but, so far I can't get anything to work for me in it even with the help of tutorials so, if you guys can help me with these questions it would be appreciated.
1. after scanning an image in , I cannot seem to pick an area with the magic wand it simply picks the entire image rather then the spot I need to fill with tones/colors. is there a specific way to scan images so that adding tones/colors is doable in one layer? I always do my tones, shading and color in one layer and lettering in the next.
2. I hate, hate, HATE!! the fact that you cannot save files in a jpeg or other format is there a way around this?
3. when experimenting with my bamboo tablet on word balloons I couldn't seem to draw tails on them. I know there is a tail option but it's rather finicky and doesn't seem to work very well but, maybe it's me...
4. is there anyway to turn the interface a bit more like photoshop? i've also been recommended to gimp but it doesn't have a scan option or tones that i can find so, any help with that would be great too....
I do apologize for the delay in getting new pages too you but, i'm a slow learner and new things tend to take me a while to learn so, if you can help please let me know.
