    Heya there,

    I'm having some trouble with DDS files with Adobe Photoshop CS 6.1.

    I've installed the plugin twice, both manually and through the installer to make sure it's correctly installed. However when I use this...

    DDS Read Properties (Click to view image)

    However with that I get this...

    Loaded image (Click to view image)

    Then with this...

    DDS Read Properties (Click to view image)

    I get this...

    Loaded image (Click to view image)

    Any help would be much appreciated as I would like to be able to skin stuff.

    Note: I don't want to download GIMP/Paint.net just for this, I am looking for a solution for this Photoshop issue.

    Yes, the _c (color) maps are supposed to be all white. All the texture information is in the alpha channel.

    So how would I go about editing a skin for it?

    Well, you could look at the alpha channel to see where things are, or open the diffuse map as well (_d) and just start painting things on the color map, if you want to add decals or stripes or something.
