Dealing with dds¶
How to open .dds files To open dds files you need a program capable of editing or at least viewing them. If you just want to view them there are many options, one being the most popular is IrfanView. It's useful because it's free and simple.
If you need to edit the dds file (e.g. for recolors or simple edits) you need to use a program that allows drawing on a canvas and allows opening dds files.
There are 3 applications of being able to do that, which are wildly popular:
GIMP (free) Photoshop (paid) Paint.NET (free)
In the past it was needed to have add-ons / plug-ins to open .dds files.
