Very new to photoshop, problem, help

[Slipt]

Hey, I'm new to modding, sort of. I tamper with a little bit of everything. Anyway, I'm trying to make some skins and I can't get them to work. I just got photoshop C2, and downloaded the Nvidia DDS plug in(s). All I really wanted to do was to edit and manipulate the Armoured Hoplite so I could make 6-12 variation.

Problem
Saved work causes crash.

Could someone who is good on photoshop just post what to do on the save part. I mean, I'm opening a file, choosing save as, and picking a new name(ASDF.TGA.DDS as an example) and when I save it I get a screen with the nvidia options, which usually resault in a an image that is ALL screwed up, or finally I got one that looks right but causes a CTD when loading a battle.

If you need screens to see what Im talking about, Ill take some, just give me a link to somewhere that can host them.

Sorry i cant help, DDS is one area of imaging i havent dabbled in.

But Photobucket is a great free image host.


Hope others can be more helpful

use -show_err in the short cut's target line to find out exactly what's wrong...

it should look like

blah" -show_err

Ok, here are my four images I made for this


Here I load in the skin I wish to edit


Then, without editing I start the save process


This is the step that has me a little bit screwy


Here is my error.

when the nvidia save box comes up save as interpolated alpha,and generate mip maps,
as it goes,look in the tutorial and walk through thread,theres a great tutorial on faction banners,buttons,and icons done in photoshop that will help

wow, thanks, I actually read that thread, dont know how I missed that piece you pointed out. Well, i tested it out
and sure enough it loaded to the battlemap without a problem. Thanks again.
