Intel has extended Photoshop* to take advantage of the latest image compression methods (BCn/DXT) via plugin. The purpose of this plugin is to provide a tool for artists to access superior compression results at optimized compression speeds within Photoshop*.
Having personally meddled with .dds files during the week I've noticed that they aren't supported in Krita ( at all), the GIMP plugin for them currently loads them up wrong (they look different compared to the Photoshop ones with ITW-plugin) and this one was the only one that did what I wanted.
Would it be possible for this plug-in to be ported to work with Krita (and possibly GIMP too)? I asked the devs at Krita and they said they at least wouldn't mind accepting working plug-in but there isn't enough resources for them to do the implementation right.
I would love to have DDS and Normal Mapping generation in Krita as well. If Krita ran a fund raiser to cover the implementation it would probably be reached in a week.
