Paintshop Pro is good and reasonably priced. Adobe Photoshop is the "premier" graphics program, but expensive. Some of the simpler things can be done in Microsoft Paint.

I still use the ol' windows Pbrush, probably because I started with it and soley did my first skins with it by replacing existing bitmaps in a theme with my own, but I finally advanced to PSP7 and I love it ( I'd be divorced if I bought Adobe).

If you can't afford something like Photoshop then ther is always The GIMP which is a free photoshop clone originally written for Linux but that has also been ported to windows:

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program

if u were feeling brave u can code it on ur own, and figure out where all the images go through trial and error, but skinstudio is probobly your best option especially since u are a first timer
