+GKABS Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 This is for members like me who use photoshop but can't open DDS files, you can download the DDS plug-in for After Effects and Photoshop then you don't need to have two software to do your work. I hope you will find this useful. just download the file and use the correct plug 32 or 64 and you put it in the Adobe Photoshop directory under \Plug-ins and you are all set. 2 2
+Stratos Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 I use the old PaintShopPro, is from the Paleozoic, but still works great, even If it cannot open DDS, for that I use Gimp. 2
+GKABS Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 Try using it with the PaintShopPro it may work. I tryed Gimp but didn't like the control of some of the functions and I like to keep my work under one umbrella. But if it work for you that is great.
Richo Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I downloaded DXTBMP and that works as well. I did get this from one of the how to forums. This also saves back into dds as well 2

What Photoshop are you using now GKABS?
+GKABS Posted October 25, 2021 Author Posted October 25, 2021 I am using photoshop cc 2019 I am happy that my company gets discounts on a lot of good software. But this is going to stop soon as I am going for retirement. lol 😆
+Soulfreak Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I use Photoshop CS3 & Gimp. I always used the Nvidea Plugin for work with DDS files. 1
+daddyairplanes Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 GIMP is free, and handles dds the next to latest version inst to far off of PS (at least as i remember it 4 years ago) and has about 90% of the same functionality (again, as i recall....)
+Soulfreak Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Btw, latest paint.net versions have now dds plugin integrated, wich can handle also BC7 dds files.
Richo Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 What great information everyone!! I will need to up grade my Photo shop. I use Photoshop 9 and 7 and DTXBmp for dds. GKABS thanks for the helpful post 1
