This already sounds like a crazy project. I have gimp 2 and it apjears I can’t even open the existing .dds files I have to simply view them. Maybe i will have to stick with the blond bimbo!

IIRC gimp has no native support of the dds format; you have to install a plugin before you are able to open/edit dss files with it. Paint.net shouldn't require any plugin though

you need a plugin for gimp to edit and save .dds files, here it is https://gimp-dds-plugin.software.informer.com/download/

I have gimp 2 and in my plug in directory I have the .dds exe file, but when I double click it says I do not have a .dll file. I'm using V2.8

I had a similar problem when I updated to 2.10.8 with a clean install, the work around is to install 2.8.18 then add the plugin then update gimp with the version you would like to run, in my case 2.10.8

Sorry misunderstood what you were saying, you don't have to double click the .exe file in the plugin folder just close Gimp then reopen, you should then be able to use .dds files
