There is an alternative to photoshop. Go into the files section and there will be a program that lets you cahnge dds files into jpegs or bmps, then back again. Called convim or somethin. BUT you will need a hex editor to make the dds files anything other than dxt1. The converter only makes dxt1, so you will need to change it to a dxt3, or 5, or an ARGB or whatever in a hex editor.
