Loosing carbon fiber texture when exporting .dds with Gimp

[Terry Evers]

Hi, im new to skinning and i was trying to alter Marcel Pfister's skin.

I have a small problem though, when i export the .dds i loose the carbon texture. I did a small test and even if i dont alter ANYTHING but simply import and then export the .dds again - i still end up loosing the carbon texture..
So what am i missing here ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I found the problem, you have to export with a mipmap at least 1 like this photo

and other thing you need it's export with the carbon parts invisible
