DDS plug-in for After Effects and Photoshop

[+GKABS 8,329]

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.

I use the old PaintShopPro, is from the Paleozoic, but still works great, even If it cannot open DDS, for that I use Gimp.

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.

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

I use Photoshop CS3 & Gimp.

I always used the Nvidea Plugin for work with DDS files.

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 6,351]

Btw, latest paint.net versions have now dds plugin integrated, wich can handle also BC7 dds files.
