Paint.NET is a free image manipulation program which also includes DDS file support natively which means no plugins are required for opening or saving DirectX images. However, you still need a plugin to create Normal Maps which can be found on the Nexus page.

You can also find a list of DDS tools on the Oblivion CS Wiki site.
