DDS Support URGENTLY needed!


Recommended Posts

It's my own mistake, but I upgraded at significant cost to myself and my situation in the hope that the long requested feature of DDS support in Photo/Designer would have been done as part of the 2.0 feature set.

Yet to my frustration I find that it's still been ignored. 

This is such an important feature for those working with games on cross-platform that I can't underestimate it's significance.

 

PLEASE ADD SUPPORT ASAP.

This has been requested many times before.
A forum search for dds would show you this.
As per the forum guidelines, please do not post new threads for things that have already been requested.

Note: You could have searched the forums, for free, before upgrading, and saved yourself some cash.

Hey, Gatekeeper, explain how you think you’re helping? Because you haven’t said anything new, useful or empathetic, nor anything I didn’t already just say  Do you feel better for shouting at the clouds? Is your life improved by being a pointless, useless jerk to a stranger online? 

Go look up Wheaton’s Law. You really need to.

Thank you for the feedback - hopefully it will be a good recommendation for other users to use the Trial version before purchasing applications (after all, as recommended by Serif, who just with the launch of V2 extended the test period so that the user can thoroughly test the product before purchasing).

Given that the topic of DDS has been discussed and requested here many times, it is difficult to say anything "new".

So it's apparently a Windows only thing, right?

Its a File format and can be used in many different ways and on different platforms.
If you have something to do with for example Software/Games development where you make usage of Vulcan or DirectX, you can make usage of the DDS file format which means quicker Read write cycles (I/O) to the Graphicscard.
DDS is also a standard file format in the Film/VFX Industry.

It is a common format for 3D textures in video games and simulators, on both Windows and macOS. I use it when creating liveries for flight simulators and racing simulators on both platforms.
