I've seen people edit stuff using Photoshop, I think thats what Xsum uses as well but don't quote me on that.

If you want to start texturing, then you're best bet is to use google and find some tutorials. There are a few good ones out there on the BI forums. You'll also need to download Arma Tools from steam: it's free, though, so don't panic. Without it, you'll have a hard time converting files into the right format.

To actually do the editing, I use photoshop, but there are many programs out there that will do the job. Photoshop is simply what I'm familiar with. I also know that I can convert the files properly, so that's a bonus.

Photoshop is the best program to use by far. If Arma 3 allows it (Not sure if it does, but previous games ive done texturing on its worked) I think you can export the default mapping to a program like 3DsMax , and texture the thing in a 3D form which is 10x eaiser when you get the hang of it.

I think @Scott1sh uses a mix of GIMP and Photoshop.
