DDS format

Most of the textures in The Witcher are in  format (or Direct Draw Surface). To view them in the Windows Explorer you will need the DDS Thumbnail Viewer from Nvidia. But be aware, this application uses a lot of resources. If you just want to view them in a separate window, download the Windows Texture Viewer. To edit them, you need some plugins for the following applications:


 * Photoshop: Nvidia DDS plugin for Photoshop
 * Paint Shop Pro can use the same plugin as Photoshop.
 * The Gimp 2: DDS plugin for The Gimp 2.x
