I'm having problems installing Imagetool in on Window7, 64 bit. When I try to install, I get a message stating that it is incompatible with the 64 bit version of Windows 7. Any idea as to how to resolve this. Mike Gutierrez. North Hollywood, California

You can't - it is not compatile with Win7 -Use DXTBmp instead - I just checked and it installed on a Win 7 - 64 bit machine with no problem.It does the same things as ImageTool - (and does them easier in my opinion).You can get it from the author's site here:http://www.btinternet.com/~mnwright/Hope that helps.

It sure does. Thanks.

Huh?You don't need to install it, just run it from the SDK folderWin7 HP 64 bit.

To clarify ---The ImageTool utility which is freely available on the Internet is not compatibkle with Win 7.However the ImageTool utility which comes with the SDK (the SDK requires a seperate installation) on the FSX Deluxe (and perhaps others) edition - disk 1 is compatible with Win 7.It is located in the Terrain SDK

Hi David:Would I be correct that the "other" ImageTool utility that you were referring to is:"Image Tool version 0.63 Alpha by Elrond Elvish"http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...&DLID=36401...intended for use with FS ? :(FYI: When I checked for an "ImageTool utility which is freely available on the Internet," a Google search shows quite a few out there ! :( http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp...bcdf8cbbf06dc4fThanks for any clarification you might offer on this. :( GaryGB

I was not aware ther was such a file in the Avsim Library - the one(s) I was referring to were found by a Google search and were apparently the original tool by the developers at some University (if memory serves).The one on the install disk does work for me in Win 7, but I still prefer the DXTBmp utility.

Elrond's ImageTool (already 8 years old) does not serve for compressing to DXT or DDS DXT formats. It is strictly a resampling and resizing tool with various advanced filters such as:Best regards.Luis

Thanks to both David and Luis for their replies ! :( GaryGB
