DDS Editing Help

[Havoch]

I'm trying to edit some DDS files using Paint.Net. Some of the files open ... some do not. Those that do not open, report an "unrecognized format" error.

Apparently the files are in working condition, otherwise the game itself would not open them.

Anyone have any insight as to why I cannot open these files but the application program that uses them can?

Has the DDS format changed and possibly paint.net can't read the newer format?

I'm also submitting this question to the Paint.Net forums.
