Windows 10: Why am I unable to save an IMAGE File to my desktop computer instead of saving the IMAGE...

I am using Windows Pro 10. I don't understand what the issue is.

Problem saving images as .dds..

After saving countless images as .dds files for various games, all of a sudden I'm simply not able to.
I was editing an image I had just saved as a .dds without any problem when, after I made my changes, I tried saving it again, but the "Save" button was grayed out.

I was using Photoshop CS 8.0, but I also had a copy of PSP8, so I tried using that to edit the image, but I wasn't able to save with it either. When I try, I get the following error: "Plugin can't read the requested format".

I thought I had corrupted the image somehow, and to test this I first opened one of the images I had finished editing a while back, and tried to save it without making any changes.
Button still grayed out in Photoshop, still receive that error in PSP.

I tried File --> New, tried saving that as .dds, same problem.

Thought maybe the plugin itself was somehow corrupted.. for both PSP and Photoshop..
so I downloaded it again. From two different sources. Still having this problem.

Tried restarting, didn't help.

Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on, and how to fix this?

Edit: I can't even open .dds images in PSP, now. Gives the "Plugin can't read the requested format" error. They still open fine in Photoshop, however..

Edit 2: I figured out why I was having trouble with Photoshop. Apparently, you need to save .dds images as 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 and so on, instead of 256x400 which is what I was attempting.
When trying to save that 256x400 image, it'd break the plugin until I restarted Photoshop, which is what was confusing the hell out of me.

Paintshop is still refusing to open .dds images, however. Luckily, I don't really use it now that I have Photoshop.

Cannot edit images when saved in Fresh paint

Hi Kamila,

As per the information, I understand that when you save an image drawn in Fresh Paint, you are unable to edit the image once saved.

If the above is true, I suggest that you follow the steps below to save the image in a manner that will allow you to edit it.

• To save your painting right click on fresh paint and click on
  Save as. You will get an option to select the location.
• Select the location and save the painting.
• When you reopen fresh paint you will be on the painting you used before closing fresh paint. If you do not get the painting, you may click on image and go to the location and select the image to edit.

For added information on Fresh Paint refer to the FAQ below

Note: Also applies to 10

Hope this helps

Regards
