Bizarre Photoshop CS4 Problem

[Full Life 1?]

So, I have photoshop cs4, and the vtf plugin, and I'm trying to save this picture I have as a vtf. But, every time I try, it says that it cannot save it, because the image width is not a power of two. I have no idea what the hell this means, so could someone help me?

Well you can try Adobe support, I'm sure they'd be happy to help you with your registered Adobe product.

I guess the pixel size has to be even rather than odd, so say 1200px rather than 1201px for example. Check the image size and adjust it to an even size and see if that makes a difference.

Nope, that didn't work, but thanks for trying.

Try widths such as 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096... and so on. It said you have to save as a power of two.

Those are 2^n

Power of 2 would be 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc.

Which seems kind of odd... Maybe OP read it wrong.

YOU ARE WRONG VEGETA

Well sorta, 2^n is power of two

Basically, what Higlac said.

 

[Vegeta897]

Well shit I guess you're right. You can't blame me though, it is easily confusable.

Also, the vtf exporter requires both the height and width to be a power of two.

ie 1024x1024, or 512x1024 etc. It doesnt have to be square, but both dimensions need to be powers of two. Also, this is a good practice to get into if you're modding for games, because its industry standard to work in those sizes (helps with performance).

2x2048 will be cool
