How do i get .exe files to work in Ubuntu? also, how am i able to manage .rar or winzip files in ubuntu ?

Please excuse, but i am only new to this Ubuntu, so I need a little help. I truly appreciate any help that may be provided.

You need to install the wine package from Ubuntu Software Center. This will allow you to run windows .exe files with various levels of success. Normally it works pretty well for most programs but not for all.

Regarding Photoshop the wine people have details in their wiki. They claim that CS4 works pretty well. Not much info about CS5

A more attractive option is to try the PlayonLinux utility. This is an elegant GUI on top of wine that will give you a list of Software you can install. The latest version supports CS4. You can find the instauction to download it here:
