Please read the forum guidelines, regarding the use of real words and attempting to use proper grammar. Particularly I reference your use of the word "u".

Photoshop isn't required, but you will need to use some form of graphic editing program, and Photoshop is one of the most common tools for this. As an alternative, there is also GIMP if you can't get Photoshop.

This is a question that is really outside of the scope of Rockbox.  I would suggest that you Google for Photoshop or GIMP tutorials, get a book on basic graphic design, or look for graphic arts forums.

I get pre existing graphics from other WPS's and edit the poop out of them for my own use.

The easiest way to learn is start with one of the WPS themes that you like. Download it. Extract the files to your PC and look at how the various files fit together. It should all make sense then.

As Febs said, you should get a tutorial about graphics design. before making a WPS, you should be comfortable with an image editor of your choice, also, if you find GIMP/Photoshop too daunting, try using Paint.NET,its not that hard to use for a beginner.
