I don't think you can, unless you can find a more up to date custom plugin for it, or use some sort of converter. As far as I'm aware most of the textures (including helmets) are in an SRGB version of their DDS format which is supported by the Intel DDS plugin for Photoshop but not really anything else.

Adobe offers a 7 day free trial of Photoshop, I currently use that.

Is there a to fix the saturated colors after editing liveries? I've been doing some editing on the inverted mclaren livery someone posted on here, but the orange just looks like **** now.

did you save the paint as BC1 SRGB and decal as BC3 SRGB or just BC1 and BC3? That's a possible solution

i noticed in the ERPs that on some cars (for example force india) there is whole big texture of the full design (paint) and on some cars only tiny little dot/square with color (for example mclaren, toro rosso, renault..). Does it mean that some cars are completely moddable and you can change the design(texture) and decals but on some cars you can only change color and decals?

all cars are fully editable. Williams, Haas and McLaren are the best ones

I used the DXT5 option in the Nvidia dds save panel. I dont see anywhere to save as srgb.

you need the intel plugin for it. Are you using a version of EEA that is 5.2 or newer?

Eyy now it works. I had been adding the ".tga" before the .dds as I saw in a video, which caused EEA to not find it. Thanks a lot for your help.

Do you have the intel DDS plugin installed? I just got a black file until I installed that.

can you please explain it a little bit more? How can you edit / design / paint something, that is tiny little square of 4x4 pixels or something. Where on that tiny 4x4 pixels is side, back, engine cover, nose, etc etc. ?
It is a big difference when some cars have normal full texture of the actual car that you can redesign and when some cars have just little 4x4 pixels texture with nothing.

just resize to 4096x4096, the UV maps on those chassis are the best ones.

The fact that the sharkfin texture in the mclaren decal file gets mirrored really annoys me. I wanted to add the porsche logo on it.

Haas and Force India have a shark fin that doesn't mirror, so I recommend those chassis for a Porsche team

Thank you so much

I'll keep that in mind. I'm about to start season 2, and i've updated a few cars including the Mclaren that i'm in. The logo on the nose and the name under the sharkfin will have to do for now.
