You can't use photoshop to make a good photo out of a crappy one (usually) but you can use it to make a good photo into a great photo. Most of the pictures you see on this forum will have had some kind of post processing done either with photoshop or a similar program.

Short answer: yes.

Many people shoot in RAW format. During the conversion from RAW to JPG, there is the opportunity to fine-tune the colors/light/sharpness​.

Many use PS Elements which is much cheaper & does as good a job in most cases. Maybe it's on a CD you got with your camera, or you might be able to get a student discount.
Alternative: There's a link to free GIMP at the top of "Raw & POST PROCESSING", but you won't get as much help here with that.
