Paint dot net has native support for dds files. And its free. Good for some basic editing, get 'em plugins too! Here's some image tools that i've used in the past also: http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/ Viewer that opens dds files, and others too, its free: http://www.irfanview.com/ Also, lets not forget nVidia's DDS stuff, cool for photoshop etc: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/d...es_legacy.html |
