If I paint a car for a mod it has to be submitted in .dds form. Can I use paintshop pro X7 to paint it? I tried photoshop plug ins & had no luck, maybe psp x7 isn't compatible with photoshop plug ins?
?
You can use PSP7 but you may need to find an older version of the nvidia DDS plug-in. Use google and find one for PSP7. Ver 7.83 and 8.23 will work. Not all dds.8bi versions will work with all versions of PSP.
You should see this at the top left when you open PSP7, Effects/plugins/nvidia tools/ normal map filter.
Now try this: Open a file then, File/save as/select dds from the drop down list and name the dds/select location to be saved and you should see the final save option.
You can only have one DDS plugin available to use in PSP (as far as I know). The normal map filter is not a DDS plugin. I have never been able to use the nvidia normal map in PSP. It is possible that different versions can work. The plugin will work when you save as a DDS file. You do not need to convert your image or flatten it. The DDS plugin will save your PSP or PSPImage file as a DDS file. Normal maps are a different issue and I don't think you are looking for that.
Here is my install path for PSP X12. C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2\Plugins. You will have a JASC folder instead of Corel.
