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

Problem solved.

I installed the above plugin but it did not work. I retraced my steps and found that I had made foolish mistake.

Manually copied the plugin to the host application plugin folder and checked yes to install extra plugin.

Worked perfectly. I was able to open the dds file, edit it and save it as various other file formats that I needed, in this case a png.

All good, thank you

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.
