Use the "save for web" option in the "File" dropdown menu. A new box will come up, on the right side there will be a dropdown box with different image formats to save as, choose "png 24". click "Save", it will prompt you to name your image and choose the destination, I usually just save to the desktop. From there either copy/paste or drag-n-drop your image into your mxsim personal folder.

Shading, well it's just plain difficult and takes alot of time to learn. You will need to be fairly proficient using gradients, soft brushes, blurs, blur tools and selection tools. There is a lot of trial and error in learning how to shade, pay close attention to how light interacts with different materials (ie: plastics, metals, woods). Begin on a small project like a Tree leaf, make your base shape and color and use layers to develop your highlights (whites) and shadows (blacks). Your shading should be whites and blacks so you can use other colors in the base layer without affecting the shading. Once you have completed a layer and adjusted the opacity to a level that looks accurate you can move on to the next layer. DON'T merge your shading layers with your object layer (you might want to use the shading you've created on a new project). Pencil or charcoal drawing is an art I would suggest looking at to get your head wrapped around light and shading, you can use similiar techniques in photoshop.
