Is it possible to get technical help with this product? If so, how do I open and edit dds files.

Correct answer Jeff Arola

You didn't try this plugin i suggested earlier?

Photoshop elements won't open/save DDS files without installing a third party plugin.

sorry to bother you, however for me this is not working, i am directly copying it into my plug-ins / file formats folder and it will not let me save or open dds files

What operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?

Which DDS plugin are you trying to install?

I'm currently trying out PS Elements since CS/PS5.5 is struggling with Win 10. I already have Nvidia’s Photoshop DDS plugin – will this work for Elements? And if so how do I get Elements to use the plugin? I’ve just attempted to open a DDS and got the “invalid file format” message.

For Photoshop 5.5 I just installed Nvidia’s executable told it to associate the DDS “converter” with Photoshop and automagically I could open/edit/save/save as DDS (I think; I installed the plugin more than 10 years ago). Do I just need to re-run Nvidia’s executable?

Thanx for any help.
