City Sets color swap help

[joriandrake]

I'm using Photoshop CS6 and IrfanView, I would like to get some instructions on how to recolor and save the Stellaris city sets, which I assume should (if done right) be a simple method

here is one example of what I would like to get from a mammalian city color swap (mammalian_01_city_I04.dds)

I hope someone has the time to explain the procedure so I can do further similar edits myself, as I believe many of the vanilla city sets would look far better (or good as additional options) after a simple Irfanview-style color swap

idk about photoshop or irfanview but i use gimp with .dds addon thing to modifier the .dds files.

you can easily change the hue and saturation and contrast and can even single out certain shades.

if you dont mind using gimp instead of those other 2 things then hope that helped. if you are set on using those things then sorry i hope you get a proper ansewer :/

IIRC, you need a plugin to create/edit .dds files with Photoshop.

That is correct, you need this plugin
