Textures appearing black when opened in photoshop

This only happens with a few of the textures I've tried to open. It looks like this:

I read on a forum that installing Intel Texture Works Plugin will solve it but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can try?

I use the NVidia plug-in, although I do have the Intel one as well.  Have you brought up the brightness to see if anything is even there?

This is how it looks in MO's preview mode:

It also looks normal in the game. I just don't like the colour.

Well, I'd try the NVidia plug-in - I think the Intel plug-in has issues or doesn't work well / save files correctly if I remember correctly and why I use the NVidia one.

I already have that. Photoshop can't open dds files without a plugin. The fact that I can almost almost any other texture, including vanilla SE textures means there is something different here. Maybe the modder went tryhard.

Is this a diffuse or a normal? Looks like a normal to me, which is kind of what most would look like anyway.

 

Can you attach the DDS? I don't use Photoshop and I could tell you for sure.

Video blacklevel is 16......235

This value can be set in the nvidia plugin.

I did not see a similar setting in the intel plugin.

You can try converting the DDS to PNG, and later open it in Photoshop

Image Viewer

Paint.NET

Once you have made the changes with photoshop, you will save it as a PNG, and later convert them back to DDS with the same program used for the reverse. I generally use Image Viewer

Nope. I saved it as a dds in photoshop and it worked fine. I just had to get rid of the bad formatting.
