This. I'm trying Gimp now, and when I attempt to export to a .dds there are a ton of options under "Compression" "Format" "Save" and "Mipmaps". Going with the default export in Photoshop, things are fine. Going with default export settings in Gimp I get an unusable .dds file. I've played around with format and generating mipmaps, nothing helps. Could you add more detail to #19 in your tutorial, "How to export your .dds"?
This might sound like a stupid question but is it possible to keep the original texture too? I wanna recolor a banner and put a new drawing on it for my castle but I don't want that banner to end up somewhere else in Skyrim because it replaced the original one. Thank you in advance.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It is easy to follow for those with many levels of experience and is a welcome addition of resources to the community. Well done.
David, I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. It is easy to follow and understand. I've come a long way since Skyrim came out. Your tutorial and the advice of fellow modders has really helped me to improve. I feel like I could retexture anything now!
This is an awesome tutorial by the way, very helpful!
I do however have a problem, I am attempting to recolor some armor, and I have succeeded with the gloves, boots, and helm, but I can't get the chest piece to work for the life of me. I'm doing the same thing I did on the other pieces, but no luck.. Advice anyone?

Weird! I sort of 'invented' this name about 10 years ago. So strange someone else is using it
