DDS Compression Gone Wrong?

[Schnozymandias]

Hi there,

 

I'm in the process of making a tattoo mod and I need to compress some dds files. I use Intel® Texture Works for compression and the following happens. 

 

Uncompressed textures (good):

 

 

Compressed textures BC7 (very dark, very bad):

 

 

Can anyone explain why this happens and tell me how to fix it? The obvious workaround is to just use the uncompressed files. But the compressed files are 25% of the original so I'd prefer that.

Figured it out. Used sRGB compression instead of linear. All good now.
