Hope you're ready for opening a can of worms. UV mapping is difficult area to jump in to.
To get you started, select your poly object, then select "edit polygons"->texture->automatic...
from your panels menu, select panel, saved layouts, persp/UV editor in order to see your scene and the uv editor side by side.

From there it gets much more difficult, but start there, play with selecting uvs, edges, faces between the two panels to see how they interact with eachother.

i think he means like taking the UVs into photoshop...if thats what u mean then u lay the UVs out in the UV editor then umm...u can take a snapshot i dont know the exact menus. It may be called save UVs or snap shot im not much of a texture guy.
