A DDS DX10 file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format whose DX10 extension header selects a DirectX 10 or newer texture format. It stores the texture data in one of Microsoft's DXGI formats — block-compressed GPU textures (BC1–BC7), high-dynamic-range BC6H data or uncompressed formats — and is mostly used for textures, normal maps and cube maps in modern games. Legacy DDS readers often fail on these files.
Encapsulated PostScript Interchange TIFF Preview (EPT) is a file format for storing raster graphics. It is a combination of a TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) preview image and an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) vector image, and is typically used for exchanging vector graphics between applications.
