Hi all,

I've got a rather bizarre problem. For my 2D game, I'm using a level designer to create a map, and then I have some C# processing code which takes all of the tiles, does the necessary / appropriate overlays to reduce duplicates and then creates a sprite sheet containing unique entries. I do this by creating a new image, getting a graphics object to it and then drawing the tile images as appropriate. The output of this process is the below (1.png). When I run this through texconv.exe to create the .dds file that I will actually import into my application it's significantly darker and it's not clear why.

1 (post processing).png is the result of having loaded 1.DDS into paint.net and then saving the file down to disc as a png file.

The call that I'm using to do the conversion is:

texconv.exe
 -nologo 
 myDir\1.png 
 -o myDir 
 -pmalpha 
 -f R8G8B8A8_UNORM

This is the same instruction that I'm issuing to process all of my other images. Some of which suffer from this problem, some of which don't.

Note that I used https://www.aconvert.com/image/png-to-dds/ to try to do the conversion and it came back with the DDS at the right level of colouration (see attached - Tempcblwx-185xy.dds)

This is driving me crazy with frustration... 

Will someone please put me out of my misery?

Thanks

Steve

1.DDS

Tempcblwx-185xy.dds

Try running it with the -srgb flag.

@WFP Thanks! I now get the colours that I expect.

Now I just have to remove all the excessive brightness that I'd added to compensate ?
