I use DXTBmp to convert them to a bmp so I can use GIMP or PS to edit them before using the DXTBmp converter again to go back to being a dds. Google DXTBmp for a free download.

There are also plugins for Gimp and PS to load/save dds. For Ps from NVidia and the Gimp one can be found at the Gimp homepage - they haev a plugin library.
