Hi.
Maybe someone knows picture formats and picture properties, so could help me with the following.
I'm noticing some difference between *.dds surface tiles obtained in three different ways:
1) I export a *.dds tile using TerrainToolKit.
2) I export an *.jpg tile using TerrainToolKit and convert it to *.dds format using Photoshop.
3) I export an *.jpg tile using TerrainToolKit and convert it to *.dds format using ImageMagick.
It seems like all these three *.dds files looks different in Orbiter. The best matching with surrounding tiles is for (1), whereas the worst matching is for (3) (in this case I see a blue rectangle which stands out against the background of the ocean).
Maybe someone could take a look and explain the difference between these three *.dds pictures.
I'm attaching the archive with three *.dds pictures, one *.jpg picture, and three screenshots from Orbiter for comparison. The priority is to convert the *.jpg file to a *.dds format using ImageMagick and get the result as in (1). I just think it can be better to find the difference, and then ask an advice on the ImageMagick forum.
