Probably the most basic question

Umm...I have been working on a repaint for kirks F16 but I ran into one problem...

I dont know what to transform the normal photo into.

Meaning, in DXTBMP i dont know what to save it as to make it show up in FS as a working repaint.

Make since?

Personally, I always save it as an extended 32-bit (with mipmaps disabled), so that it doesn't lose quality (in case I need to make adjustments). After you're certain that your repaint is 100% done, you can then resave it as a DXT3, which will compress it somewhat, and give slightly better frames. Resaving as a DXT3 isn't really necessary unless performance is an issue, though. Hope that helps.
