Hello everyone

I recently tried to convert a dds file to a jpg and ran into an error.

C:\tools\ImageMagick-6.5.4-Q16>convert 252.dds 252.jpg

convert: image type not supported `252.dds' @ dds.c/ReadDDSImage/346.
convert: missing an image filename `252.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.

I am pretty clueless here and not sure what I should be looking for. I did a general search and didnt find anything.

Anyone have an idea or where I should start looking?

THanks!

Still poking a bit

As you can see I am using IM 6.5.4 and when I ran:
I find this listed:

DDS* DDS r-- Microsoft DirectDraw Surface

Then I ran
Which resulted in this output:
identify.exe: image type not supported `252.dds' @ dds.c/ReadDDSImage/346.

So how is it that the format list has DDS listed but when I ID the image it tells me the type is not supported.

What am I missing here?

r-- means read only

Forgive the daft response (I am no expert in this by a long shot), but if it can read it should it not be able to convert it?
