I try to paint on a picture in Photoshop, but i get an error over and over again. It says I have to merge the group. I don't know much about Photoshop. Does someone know how to fix it?

The layers in Photoshop can be arranged in groups (think of the groups as folders). To use the brush tool you first need to highlight a layer in Photoshop - not the group folder
So If it looks like this (the group is highlighted) - the brush won't work
Click on one of the layers in the group (so the pixel layer is highlighted) and you can brush away :
