Photoshop's great to make your own textures, but you dont need it. You can use any painting of photo adjusting software. (You can download GIMP its a free paint/photo software with great online support, well it think its free)

If you just gettting started i would reccoment downloading the free tutorials from here and using the buit in textrues for starting off (wood, granite, fractual, ramp etc) as this will build up your understanding how the nodes in the hypershade work together.

Also looking at the help files gives you lots of tutorials for each part of maya.

Hope this helps

Cheers
