You'll need a disc to format it. Call Apple support and they can send you some for a reasonable price, or buy a retail disc.

Out of curiosity, why doesn't it have the OS preloaded?

Welcoome.

You need the Restore DVDs or Retail DVDs to format the Mac.

There is also Photoshop for Mac OS X.

Have a look at many threads about those questions via MRoogle.

And have a look at Apple's homepage.

Call Apple or buy OSX in the store. It's your only choices.

To use your Mac, you need an operating system on the computer. In most cases, you want to run Mac OS X (pronounced "ten"). You can find a copy on Apple's website or many third-party retailers. There are a few different versions of Mac OS X, but which version you need depends on the age of your computer.

If it's a Mac with an Intel processor (MacBook, newer iMac, etc.) then Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a great choice.

If it's an older Mac with a PowerPC processor (iBook, older iMac, etc.) then Mac OS X Leopard or earlier is a great choice.
