Maybe i can use Photoshop for this.Yep, you can use Photoshop for that with no issue. I'm not sure which version you're using (I've got CS5 currently), but here's how it's done -- first, set your current background color to pure white and change the window on the right side from "Layers" to "Channels". Then, import all of the _nor files into Photoshop, and for each one you'll want to, in order -- select the blue channel only, CTRL+A (select all), CTRL+X (cut, this should "blank" the blue channel and make it pure white due to the background colour set earlier), save the file, convert it to greyscale (Image > Mode > Greyscale), paste back in the image you cut earlier, and then finally save that as a new image. Since it doesn't have a "proper" name, you can either do what I did and give it the same filename with "_ink" at the end, add "_blend" or you can simply have "_nor_b".
If done correctly, you should have the two files -- the regular normal map without the green blobs all over it, and a black-and-white texture that has said blobs on it.
