DDS Alpha format (8bpp-A8)

Post by vallex »

Is there any chance for DDS Alpha (8bpp-A8) support?
Lots of my work is based on ImageMagick and the use of other DDS converter slows the process
( my software -> DDS convert (DXT5 or other) -> ImageMagick -> DDS convert again! (A8) -> my software )

After all the format isn't very difficult! Only one channel - 8-bit uncompressed data! :)

PS: I'll be happy just for A8 input for now (read only)! Thanks!

I might be able to add support for this. Could you create an issue here: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues so I don't forget about it?
