Converting from DDS


Recommended Posts

Trying to convert the DDS files or use them in Gimp and it is not working.  The resulting image is always mostly transparent.  This includes loading the DDS into gimp directly or trying to convert the image to BMP. JPG, or PNG using an online conversion tool.  The only tool that works is DXTBmp but that is very slow.

 

Has anybody had any success with speedy conversion?

For DDS to BMP's

 

Load the .dds into Gimp. (Uncheck mip maps before loading.)

Go to Channels and turn off alpha view.

As above is an excellent method.

When it comes to exporting, you can choose from a selection of other extensions also, (within "Gimp").
