DDS batch conversion tool?

Post by congo » Mon May 18, 2020 6:52 pm

Hi,
I want to try to add saturation and red hue to some of my scenery textures, as I feel they are way too washed out and green hued.

I tried Irfanview, but it doesn't seem to output .dds, even though it can add saturation and hues in other formats.

Is there a batch converter that will do this?

GIMP should do what you need. It supports .dds correctly out of the box, and also supports macros.

Bonjour,
J'utilise Photoshop pour ce genre de boulot.

Any photo editing app should be able to accomplish this - including GIMP and Photoshop... however, I am not sure color correction is something you would want to automate.

Photoshop has several "auto" adjustments, including "Auto Tone", "Auto Contrast" and "Auto Color" - however, in my experience they don't work as well as getting your hands dirty and tweaking color values by hand.

I usually have my base image on a layer and then add a Brightness / Contrast adjustment layer, a Color Balance adjustment layer, and a Curves adjustment layer. The adjustment layers are simply controls that let you make adjustments in a non-destructive manner.

I would say, give the "Auto" adjustments in Photoshop a try - yo might be happy with the results. But if you want all of your tiles to be consistent, you will probably have to spend quite a bit of time manually editing each tile.

With the aerial imagery I used, there were tiles which were taken at different time periods and maybe even different camera than other tiles, and trying to get everything color corrected was a nightmare.

Good luck!
