If you don't have either, you can get Gimp for free at www.gimp.org. You can also find out how to make alpha textures and everything else Second Life related on Youtube. It's a great resource for tutorials. Once you have either Photoshop or Gimp, you can open a new document from the file tab in the upper left part of the screen. When the new document box pops up, you can choose to make your entire background transparent, or you can make it white and erase the parts that you want to be transparent and decorate the rest. If this didn't help, check out "How to make alpha textures" on Youtube.
