(Update: Problem solved, i let Message undeleted for other Users with same Problem)

Hello all,
first thank you very much for all the Info here and this great Tool: QuickBMS

I managed to extract some Textures with this Tool from Yakuza Kiwami 2 PC Version, but now im unable to open the .dds Files.
IrfanView, Gimp or Photoshop can not open/show the Files

As QuickBMS extracted all 3d Models (.gmd Files) and i can view them with Noesis it "feels" like there is no Problem on extracting all Files with QuickBMS.
Is this .dds File Format something new, do i need a special Plugin to view/edit ?
Would be nice if someone can check the attached Files, maybe i miss something.

Thank you

ps:
if one want to edit the Hostess Dresses 3D Models, as example the Bikini is found inside this Folder "c_cz_x_CIdress_S" from "chara.par"

UPDATE AND SOLUTION:
I checked the Header with Hex Editor, .dds is compressed as DX10.
My DDS Plugin for Photoshop is outdated (Nvidia one) and i found a new Plugin that worked for me:
IntelR Texture Works Plugin for Photoshop:

User Kaplas has a solution for Paint.net:

They are DX10 DDS textures.

Install this plugin for paint.net, rename the files to .dds2 and you'll be able to open them

Noesis has native dx10 support and can open and convert all your samples.

that wont help to edit the textures as noesis is a 3d model viewer only.

what i posted is absolutely true and Noesis is not
just a model viewer, someone been lying to you.
you can open dx10 textures with it and convert them to more common
formats that you can import in most any texture editing software.
