.dds policy icons

How do I make the .dds images for policy/situation, etc. logos?

I have Photoshop (Elements), and I’ve downloaded a dds plugin. What do I do to create the image? When I try to save an image as a dds with the new plugin, I get all sorts of options I don’t understand, mips and maps and alphas. Is there a simple set of instructions you can give me?

Thanks.

the option you want is ARGB 32 bit. it produces the biggest file, but the highest quality one. Turn off mip maps (doesn’t need them).

I use the gimp-that has a built-in DDS creator-it might be good for poorer\lazier modders like me :stuck_out_tongue:.
