Portrait Modding - DDS conversion quality loss

[jette123]

Hello guys,

Im trying some portrait modding right now.
However, when I save as dds (DXT5) I experience some quality loss.

Its so sad. The dds file looks so crusty

The png or tga files used for the children portraits look much more smooth its so sad.

Is there a work-around for this? A better dds converter?
Or can I save as png (apply the alpha as mask and save interlaced) instead of dds?

I need help its frustrating.

When saving as DDS, use A8R8G8B8 instead of DXT5. That way, it's lossless.
