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*.
I dont know where exactly to ask for this, but hoping here is the right place.
GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) only has a third party dds and normal map plugin which does not support newer games DDS files. And I think that development on those old google code projects has ceased long ago.
Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4 in particular need BC7, and if you do not own Photoshop, the only option for helping the massive modding community for those games is to use GIMP (I guess there are a few rich members around can afford the software for a hobby, or they are riddled with virus using cracked software ..)

So request that Intel Texture Works can offer BC7 for GIMP .. https://github.com/GameTechDev/Intel-Texture-Works-Plugin/wiki/BCn-App-Support
And also request Installation Instructions for the same (seems you do not support the Open Source Projects here for installation, but do support Photoshop) .. https://github.com/GameTechDev/Intel-Texture-Works-Plugin/wiki/Installation
