| Oct 16 at 12:26 | comment | added | Basic | DDS is a format that stores date in the same way it would be passed to a GPU. That means it contains things that are most useful at display time, like mipmaps (pre-scaled copies of the image). Do you actually care about preserving things like that from the original? Or would changing the base image and recalculating the mipmaps, etc be desirable? If the latter, I suspect (but don't know for certain) that you could go via tiff. | |
