AxlDave Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have GIMP and DXTBmp installed, my current method is to open the .dds in DXTBmp, save it as a 24-bit bmp, open it with GIMP for editing, export with GIMP to bmp, which I then open with DXTBmp and save as .dds. As you can see, this is a very cumbersome method which loses quite a lot of resolution with all the conversions. Can someone suggest a .dds editing program that works like GIMP but actually saves as .dds? I have heard tell of a GIMP plugin that allows for .dds extensions, however not only does it apparently reduce resolution, I have also been unable to find it. Could someone confirm whether it is worth getting, and perhaps post a link to an active download site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luthienanarion Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Paint.NET can also be used for DDS files. I'm not graphically inclined, so I can't speak on how it compares to GIMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irswat Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 why are the .dds files not in color? i've never worked with these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
