PDN exports my textures in an odd way...

I've had this issue with Paint.net for a while and didn't realize what was actually happening until today.

When I export a texture in .dds format (any format actually) my texture becomes oddly pixelated and full of noise. This looks terrible in game. I will provide pictures below.

Here are the un-edited textures. (By the way I am trying to remove part of the texture to bring the stripes right up to the double solid line):

Here are the textures after I edit them and save them as a .dds:

And here are my save options:


Any help would be greatly appreciated...and if your slow and didn't get my issue, I need that pixelated look in the second picture to go away when I export my edited texture. I want my textures to look like they did in the first picture.

 

Check the generate mip maps option and then in BeamNG enable anisotropic filtering for your material if the texture is blurry.

 

Thank you very much, this resolved the issue. Can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner.
