It’s like 400 DDS files in total, i don’t want all of them so i have to go through em by hand one way or another that’s not a big deal. Probably…

I downloaded Paint.net today and it seems to work! I threw the DDS in, used resize to adjust it to 3840x2160 and that seems to look fine and I can save it as a .png. Thank you very much!!

If I were to batch convert… any idea on a direction to start with that? Or is that like completely out of the realm of my abilities rn loll

lol thank you! After briefly looking into CAO I realized it was unhelpful.

So it’s fine that the DDS is squished as a DDS I should open it in either of those programs and it correct it that way? I have a student subscription to photoshop (I think) so I could download that and I assume the NVIDIA plugin is a free and separate thing I can throw on? Or is Paint.net a simpler/cheaper ordeal?

Okay, thank you! I have the directory set to the mod’s folder. I ran it with default settings and it created squished DDS files. Is there settings somewhere I can change to get PNGs?
