I highly recommend getting DXTBMP program. It will heal all your ills with DDS conversions. You set your default paint program, export the dds file to it, make your changes, save it, and import it back into DXTBMP then save. It is a very user friendly program. I have been using it for years.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks,

This is new ground for me...i'll try your program suggestion, though saving mipmaps gives you 86kb you say...but thats not 85.4kb! i though it had to be exact!


Edit: i just quickly tried saving with Mipmaps, and it say's "preview size 85.5kb" perfect. But. once i've saved that and then hover my mouse over the dds file it says 64.1kb!!!


I just used your link and suggested softwre,,,worked first time thanks!!!
