installed it but photoshop plugin not visible in filters?
Hi @y2keeth! You can find the Photoshop plugin by going to File > Save a Copy..., and then selecting DDS - NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter from the file format combo box:
The settings will appear once you click Save.
It’ll also show that it’s installed with an entry in Help > About Plugins:
If it doesn’t appear in either location, the most common cause is that it might have been installed to the incorrect location - some computers have multiple versions of Photoshop installed, but the plugin installer only writes to one at a time, so if one installed it in the Adobe Photoshop 2023 folder but then launched Adobe Photoshop Beta, it wouldn’t appear. (The most important file is nvtt_export.8bi, which should be in the Photoshop Plug-ins folder). If that’s the case, then one fix is to re-run the installer, and to choose the correct installation location on this screen:
Hope this helps!

I camne back all this time later and the plugin dont work again, tried reinstalling the nvtt_export.8bi is in the plugins folder

Hi @y2keeth! Since the About menu appears, that means that Photoshop’s finding and loading the plugin.
It won’t appear in Filters - to save an image with the plugin, you’ll need to go to File > Save a Copy.... Does DDS - NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter show up there?
Thanks!
no it doesn’t
Hmm - can you send me a screenshot of what the file format dropdown in File > Save a Copy... looks like? Thanks!
Ah, that’s not listing some of the other formats Photoshop natively supports – e.g. notice that JPEG doesn’t appear, but Photoshop can usually save JPEG files. I think that means the image has some attribute that limits what exporters Photoshop can use.
If you go to Image > Mode, which mode and bit depth do you see selected there?
Thanks!
it shows up now
its working again thanks

One day, I also encountered a situation where I was unable to see the .dds option in the drop-down menu while saving. It turned out that the list can be scrolled using the mouse wheel, and it is very long, while there are no visual prompts for scrolling. So if you find yourself in a similar situation, try scrolling :)
