What is DDS?
DDS is DirectDraw Surface, the texture format games ship. Its point is that the GPU reads the compressed blocks directly, so BC1/BC3 textures never need unpacking at runtime. FileSorcery reads it and converts out; writing good block compression is a job for a dedicated compressor.
What is PNG?
PNG is the web's lossless image format: compression that never degrades the picture, and a real alpha channel for transparency. It is the right choice for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with sharp edges or text.
