Real PPM output

Encoded by magick, the same library the command-line tools use — not a renamed extension.

About DDS

DirectDraw Surface

Microsoft's DirectX texture container. It usually stores GPU-compressed data (the DXT or BCn formats) with mipmaps, so a graphics card can load it without decoding. Convert to DDS for game textures and mods; convert from it to view or edit a texture.

About PPM

Portable Pixmap

The color member of the Netpbm family: uncompressed RGB pixels after a short text header, in binary or plain-text form. Use it as a simple interchange format for scripts and image tools that read raw pixels.
