I use photoshop for everything and have a plugin that does DDS but its slow and the DDS always have lower quality than the TGA so I don't DDS anything even though I should. CQ just sent me a link to DDS Converter 2.1 and I tried it and had the same problem-

What am I doing wrong here? I know from seeing other peoples work that you can retain the detail in a DDS so I'm not clicking something right but what?.

AA and UE suggested this for photoshop:
save the dds as 32 bit ARGB with no mips maps clicked

well thats what AA told me and it's worked brilliant so far, the only problem i've had is with alphas i have to flatten the psd save the dds and then un-flatten the psd

There is a dds converter here:

I think that did the trick. When I compare the TGA to DDS they look the same. Thanks.
