Answer 1

The documentation of MATLAB is very helpful, if you know what you want. But they are not a good tutorial to learn how to process images. Therefore a text book will be better, e.g.:

Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB 2nd Ed. by Gonzalez, Woods, and Eddins

Dwayne Phillips: Image Processing in C (although the algorithms are implemented in C, the explanations are applicable in MATLAB also)

To get MATLAB basics, type "doc" in MATLAB command window, go to MATLAB>Getting Started.

For image processing, follow http://www.mathworks.com/image-video-processing/demos.html

(Steve also has a book on the subject.)

I've posted several demos here http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=authorid%3A31862, as well as hundreds in the newsgroup.
