DXT support?

Post by edwinn »

Years ago when the previous owner seemed to be struggling, I suggested there was a "whole new untapped market" out there that uses DXT textures for gaming and simulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression

The suggestion was to support the format natively in PSP. Is this possible? Has Corel ever considered it? Are there any plug-ins or routines that can open, edit and save DXT bitmaps?

There is a plugin supplied by NVIDIA for Photoshop. I have successfully been able to run it in PSP. It makes the DDS file format an option.
