rapture Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm trying to change the color scheme of this .dds file and save the file as is. The problem I'm having is that when I click (save as) paint.net brings up a lot of options to save the file. I do not know which option to pick. the file either gets corrupt or the video game I am using this file for does not recognize it when i pick a option. how can I save this file without changing its format?

You will need to determine the format of the original file, the DirectXTex texdiag utility can be used for this.

I Uploaded the file here do you think you could take a look at it and tell me what the format is and what I should save it as? https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2c4mhkj3klx3uh/9A72A2D6.dds?dl=0 I would really appreciate it!
