Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.
Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.
hi new to this forum have looked and posted on other forums without any luck so this is my last gasp. I have photoshop CS, version 8 and in the passed have used nvidea plugin-ins in order to open dds files, now i have a new shiny built pc, os 7 64. so i reinstalled ps and the plug ins but it wont le t me open them up, telling it is the wrong type of document.
This is the version of plugin i have installed. Photoshop_Plugins_x64_8.52.0208.1800.
hope this is the right forum to post this.

Are you sure you copied the nvidia plugin into the Plug-Ins sub folder of the Photoshop folder? If no please do so.

Re: Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.
It could be that the dds files can only be opened when using File > Open from the menu in Photoshop.
Re: Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.

Re: Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.
If dds does not appear as an supported file extention in the File > Open dialog, then Photoshop does not use the dds format plugin. Then the plugins is either not compatible with your Photoshop version or Photoshop does not find the plugin, because it is not correctly installed.

Re: Problem opening dds files with Photoshop CS.
The plugin needs to be placed in the Plug-Ins sub folder of the Photoshop folder...
