On NVIDIA Developer Zone you can download Nvidia Plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop (link is external) and other tools (link is external), or use direct links below for downloading plug-in version 8.5: P.S. Be careful with any manipulations with your textures and always save your work before apply any filter.

1. I want to create for Sims4. I need to save all artwork in DirectDraw etc. Which is.DDS format. Where can I get one? I just spent $75 for this Photoshop13, and of course the option to save in.DDS is not included.
2. More plugins can be added later by request, or simply add them to ' Sandbox Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 roaming modified @email protected Adobe Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Plug-Ins ' folder, or similar others (appdata etc), just like the installed version, and at next startup the portable will recognize your new files.

What is DDS ?

The DirectDraw Surface container file format (uses the filename extension DDS), is a Microsoft formatfor storing data compressed with the proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, which can be decompressed in hardware by GPUs.

By default, Photoshop CS 6 is unable to read a .dds file. We need to grab the NVIDIA Texture Tools from here. These set of tools contain the NVIDIA Normal Map filter, the NVIDIA DDS plug-in, Mipster (A mip-map generation script) and the Cube Map Shuffler.

The NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop are compatible with Adobe Photoshop 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS6.

Hitting the download button will take you to the download page. In my case, I’ll choose Windows [64-bit]. Launch the .exe file you just downloaded. It’ll ask you to register the product by Name and Organization. I choose something random here as all my work is done for personal use.

It should find your installation directory automatically. In my case, it is D:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) and click [Next]

To verify that everything was installed correctly, navigate to Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)Plug-insFileFormats and you should see your new .DDS plugin installed.

How to install plug-in filters in Photoshop

Among the most popular questions asked by newbies about Photoshop compatible plugins are:

Where do I install a plugin and how do I load it afterwards?

A plugin (or plug-in) is a computer program that integrates into another program adding new features and increasing functionality. Adobe lets you install plug-in filters from other software developers in its programs.

Some Photoshop compatible plugins have an installer that will guide you through the process. But what should you do if plug-ins are not added in Photoshop? How to install these files? It's as easy as pie. All you need to do is to copy (or drag) the file into the Plug-Ins folder of Adobe Photoshop.

The Adobe folder is typically located in Program Files on Windows and in Applications on Mac computers. If you have installed Photoshop in any other location you should look for the Plug-Ins folder there.

Bear in mind that Photoshop must be closed when installing new plugins. Or you will need to restart the editor. Next time you run Photoshop, the plugins will be available in the Filter menu.

Some Useful Tips:

• Photoshop recognizes plug-ins located in subfolders and subdirectories inside the Plug-Ins folder.

  You can classify your filters by developer or by task. Just create a new folder inside the Plug-Ins folder and put the files in it.

  However, the list of plugins in the Photoshop menu (under Filter) looks different from the list in the Plug-Ins folder. In the Photoshop menu plug-ins are usually classified by developer.

• Photoshop also recognizes shortcuts (Windows) and alias (Mac OS) within the Plug-Ins folder and subfolders.

  Install your plug-in filters into any folder outside Photoshop, and then create a shortcut for the '.8bf' file (or 'make alias' on Mac) and place it into the Plug-Ins folder.

  With shortcuts you can manage your plugins quickly and safely.

• You can select an additional plug-ins folder in Photoshop Preferences.

  Call the command Edit on Windows or Photoshop on Mac, then -> Preferences -> Plug-ins & Scratch Disk.

  Select Additional Plug-ins Folder, then use the button Choose to select a folder or directory from the list.

  Attention!

  If you select the Additional Plug-ins Folder in Photoshop 32 bit, make sure that the folder does not contain the 64 bit files (64-bit version of the plugin), otherwise you will get an error message!

Note:

Some filters show up directly in the main Photoshop menu (typically between 'Windows' and 'Help' titles).
