picklebrad Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 You have to install an Invidia dds plugin. Then it should work. Just Google it. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/58465-dds-supported-programs/#findComment-675965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I believe I got it from here, but I'm not absolutely sure. It's an old program and it does not seem to install. It's just a stand alone program that should run from anywhere. I had to google it to re-discover it: http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/58465-dds-supported-programs/#findComment-675973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonnico Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I use the NVidia Photoshop plugin vrs 8.55, and that works for me in Photoshop cs5 and the cs6. I recommend that you better install the Photoshop cs6 Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/58465-dds-supported-programs/#findComment-675977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonnico Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 here I found a forum where they talk about how to install the plugin in Photoshop cc, take a look and try it maybe it will help you. here the Link https://www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/4776-nvidia-dds-plugin-on-photoshop-creative-cloud/ Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/58465-dds-supported-programs/#findComment-675978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The DXT program is pretty easy and will use PS for editing. I have CS2 and can still use that for editing and then bringing back to the DXT tool for saving as a .dds file.
