Photographs as diffuse — opaque, usually sRGB
sRGB
Color photos yes. Data maps no — those should not start as JPEG anyway.
Seams
A photo is not a tile until you make it one in Substance or GIMP.

How it works
- 1
Crop and resize to engine rules
Power-of-two if required.
- 2
Encode opaque DDS
Local WASM.
- 3
Check tiling and mips in the viewport
Shimmer and seams are the real QA.
Use cases
Prototype terrains
A photo as a stand-in albedo.
Skybox panels
If the pipeline actually wants DDS faces.
Archviz mock materials
Not a measured PBR scan. Fine for blocking.
Problems we solve
JPEG of a logo with glass
PNG spoke. You needed alpha.
Using a 400px web download as 4K terrain
It will look like a 400px web download, in BC.
Normal maps saved as JPEG
Stop. Use a lossless data path.
Trust & technology
Local
Location photos stay in the tab.
Honest about double loss
JPEG then BC is not archival.
Sibling PNG if you still have a better source
Prefer that.
