Photoshop .DDS help

[Sennheiserl]

Hey all for the last few weeks saving a skin as a dds file has been working fine but since yesterday it keeps coming up with 'photoshop cannont save filename as a dds file due to a system error' does any one know how to fix this. i am using photoshop 7.

Cheers Senn

Why dont you save it as a .jpg and then using the .dds converter convert it to a .dds. i find its much easier that way because i too sometimes have that problem. its in the skinning post tha aaza put up i think.

that might have to do but i would rather get photoshop working with it so i can do it that way

only specific resolutions can be saved as dds files whats the resolution of the file your trying to save?

[Sennheiserl]

the template is 2048x2048

[Dirtnz]

mmm that is weird a squared resolution like that should be fine.

have you tried a full re-install of photoshop and re-installing the dds utilities?

[Sennheiserl]

yep il do that and it works once, ill save it as a dds check it ingame then come back out change something on the skin and the the error box pops up lol
