Thumbnail viewer (from nvidia)(can be used with any graphics card) microsoft RAW viewer(view everything windows pic and fax show does not support)(works with any graphic cards), adobe photoshop dds plugin (from nvidia website)(works with all graphics cards)(but only with adobe main program installed). you can also download developer tools on nvidia website (works with any g-card). I suggest you DO NOT use the WTV This is because the Thumbnail viewer does the job easier and faster than WTV does.. when installed, all you need to do with Thumbnail viewer is to set icons to big size in you folder set up. meaning. If you got lfs/dds folder open, all you need to do is to set icon size to big, and all DDS files WILL be shown.. To EDIT dds. use the dds converter2. You can convert dds to jpeg and that way you can edit the file you need to edit. after , you simply convert it back to dds with dds converter2. you can use adobe photoshop or gimp or even paint to edit your file.. remember to convert the file back to dds or LFS wont be able to see it!

btw 7zip works alot faster than winrar. mainly because it doesnt move stuff to the windows\temp.
