 | 2026-10-15 | minor | DDS textures save (#1327): uncompressed or BC1/BC2/BC3 (DXT1/3/5) from a clean-room block encoder, optional box-filtered mip chain, legacy header; DDS Options in Save As and Save a Copy, `ddsCompression`/`ddsMipmaps` for scripts, the CLI and MCP |
 | 2026-10-16 | minor | PSD smart filters: Perspective Warp (`perspectiveWarpTransform`: `vertices`, `warpedVertices`, `quads` of vertex indices, document pixels) opens as `layer.smartObjects.perspectiveWarp`, one plane per quad, and re-renders warped; save writes the original item with only the geometry rewritten, or a new one in Photoshop's layout; inconsistent descriptors stay verbatim (FILE-215-2, #6268) |
