Hacking Converting textures FROM Skyrim Switch dds to PC friendly format

[Neil187]

Hello, first post here.

I have recently learned to extract xci files and have done the nexessary steps after to acquire all of Skyrim's data files from Switch onto my PC. All is well except I am having issues with one thing. DDS texture format.

I am aware they they use some unique headers in their files, so I am unable to open them via the regular means (GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.net). I am wondering if there is a converter for this type of header, or if there is a plugin/program that can handle them?

Thank you all!

I'm not seeing anything through those forums, unless you are suggesting I should post this in that topic? Which I would definitely be a more appropriate place I guess. Thanks!
