Magic Zach Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 You want to download DXTBmp to import/export DDS files. Drop DDS file into DXTBmp, then export it as an editable file. TGA or BMP. I don't know which is better. Then reverse the process once edited, drop BMP/TGA into DXTBmp, export as a DDS (there are multiple, can't remember which is better). Reflected knows more than me, he's been skinning far more and longer than I have.

Ironhand Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Wondering if anyone who has this program and create their own skins could tell / instruct me as to how to install Nvidia DDS tools in to it. Right now I unable to open a DDS file. Thanks and Happy New Years.. TC Download the Photoshop installer from Nvidia NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop and run it. It finds you installation of Photoshop, installs itself, and you're good to go. Right click on the file you'd like to open, select "Open with" Photoshop.

Knock-Knock Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Or just grab the converter for Photoshop. https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop CC isnt mentioned, and I only have experience with CS variants, so dont know if it still works for the CC versions. But then you can save/read dds formats, including mip maps etc, trough Photoshop. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
