chjoco15 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I have been using the program 'dds converter 2' to help with some mods for oblivion. when i try to convert as jpg format picture into dds format, there is an error screen that says Conversion from [JPG] to [DDS] using [nvDXT] startedError: [image.jpg] size = not a power of 2COnversion has failed soemthing about the size, i dont know what it is someone help plz
Guest Tessera Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 My suggestion would be to get yourself a copy of GIMP and also, install the DDS plug-in for GIMP. It works like a charm and you can edit DDS files directly, without having to convert them first.

GIMP will do that, too. It can convert almost any graphic file format you can imagine. Just use it to open a .dds file, then save that as a .jpg... or vice versa. 8)
chjoco15 Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 Ya i see there is a lot of different image formats, but dds isn't one of them. do i need a plugin or something?

It took me awhile to warm up to GIMP (some folks here may remember when I first started messing with it -- I was full of questions). Once I got the hang of it, though... well, I'll just say that I've also used PhotoShop and frankly, it doesn't really do anything important that GIMP can't do just as well. On the other hand, PhotoShop has a much, much more intuitive interface and its built-in help system is the best in the business. They're both excellent programs for modders... but... GIMP is free. 8)
