I thought I'd post this (I didn't see a post about this on the forum though I didn't really look for it either), because it is hard to find good info on the net about it. Also I haven't read about someone who succeeded in doing this for PS CS5.
Nvidia doesn't support the DDS plug-in and Normal map filter for Photoshop versions after CS3, but it is possible to add them to Photoshop CS4 and CS5 (I have the CS5 version and succeeded to add both options). I don't know if it also works for the Extended versions, but I think it works the same way.
I would also like to add that you do this at your own risk, but it is not likely to go wrong (though these are assumptions).
That's it, the plug-ins should be working. You should be able to safe files as DDS files and the Nvidia filter should be found under FilterNvidia toolsNormal map filter in the top of the window.
I've also read a thread from Marcel about problems with the 64bit versions/Windows7 and I'm not sure how this effects the story above since I don't have enough experience/knowledge on this matter. Read the thread here.

For developers: If you want to write your own plugins for IrfanView (support for new image formats or effects (please no private formats)), please send me an email for details.
here is a plugin for Photoshop that lets you open images. dds and editing and best of all you for saving can choose whether to save the image in all layers need not + convert. dds to be edited. If anyone would like please give thanks.Did you get it to work? I'm using CS5 and even after downloading and installing the DDS utility I get the same message.
I got DDS to work by downloading the 64 bit and 32 bit DDS for photoshop. I also needed to edit-> preferences -> Plug ins-> and click enable additional Plug ins to get DDS working in my photoshop.
Hey everyone,
I've recently wanted to get into the ideas of recoloring different League of Legends skins, and maybe skins on other games as well.
I have Photoshop CS6 installed on my computer, however have been unable to open .DDS files because it doesn't support them.
I've tried the nvidia plug-in, however it doesn't seem to be doing anything (unless I'm not installing it correctly.)
Any help on this would be awesome.
Evolis pebble printer driver. Thanks ahead of time!
