DDS image editor
Anyone know a shareware/freeware app that will edit DDS images (even a lame one lol) on it's own? I not always at a machine that has photoshop and haven't found a solution to this problem yet. :confused:

Some tools linked here to convert between DDS and BMP so you can edit with MS Paint. (Doesn't save Alpha channels though.)
http://www.eqinterface.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=15368 Gimp is the only free image editor I know if that's worth its salt, but I don't if it supports DDS. You can also look for free 30-day trials of Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc. |
I know Microsoft has some tools in their DirectX 9.0c SDK (Software Developer Kit), but it's a heafty download at 222MB.
Here's a link to the Download page. DirectX 9.0 SDK Update - (December 2004) |
NVIDIA has some graphics tools on their site thate are free. I have not test them yet
|
The "tools" on the nVidia site are plug-ins for the $50+ programs.

thanks
thx for the great response! :)
Got PS at home, only there 1/2 my time tho hehe |
I started using a version of GIMP once my PS trial ran out. there is no .dds plug in for it but you can find converters that make .tga's into .dds's. both programs are free just search google for the programs

Another thread showed this link for a DDS Converter program
http://doom3.filefront.com/file/DDS_Converter_2;29052 and here is the readme file: This submission is a graphics tool that generates DDS files (texture format) in batch from a collection of popular file formats such as BMP, PNG, PSD > and TGA. For this version, I selected nVidia's nvDXT to produce them so the files produced by it are of the same quality as they would be with > nVidia's DDS plugin for Photoshop. The installation program will create shortcuts and add an entry into the "Add/Remove programs" dialog box. EDIT: this program is freeware :) ________ buy a condo in Pattaya |
