Angus Kennedy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 DDS file Export Request for PC. May I suggest you add export to DDS file - DirectDraw Surface (DDS), to your program. Many People use this type of file in gaming to place textures on models / objects. If this is already in the program please let me know and where it is located to export. Thank You.

Angus Kennedy Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 So I see this subject of asking for a DDS file export has been around for atleast 4 years. Does anything suggested, get placed in the program ? From what I see of waiting 4 years minumum to have something that has been suggested, placed in the program, I may as well keep using GIMP.

E.g. just recently a template feature was introduced to the currrent beta versions (it was on Mac in the test loop for a little longer but showed up on Windows just this week). Just one of many threads on this topic. Same for improvement of 'Expand Stroke'. This is a feature discussed over years and now they have made big improvements ... they are ironing out some last bugs. Another thing that comes to mind is export to TGA format. It was asked over and over again and the developers did listen and implemented it. Interesting thing in the last post by Andy Somerfield is that they found valid arguments in the postings in the forum that made them to decide to implement TGA support. They do listen to the people around here! Since you are new to the forum I just wanted to point you to these few of many examples that are proof to the fact that Serif is monitoring these forums.

Pšenda Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just add - the "age" of the request has no relevance to its implementation. Either Serif acknowledges that the requirement is really important and necessary, and fits in with their concept, then gives him a higher priority and reserves him with development capacities (which are relatively limited due to the size of the company).

Egonator Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It is not request for the whole new feature, it is support for the "forever" existing plugin. Four years should be sufficient, even in smaller number of devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joghurt Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Would buy it if it had DDS support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cibaris Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I also own Affinity and an older version of PS. I would use Affinity if it supported DDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
