And I use this
Adding Images (DDS Textures)

A simple step-by-step guide for creating a DDS Texture from an existing image and adding it to a mod.

Creating the image file

Find your original image - png, jpeg, bmp, whatever
Find the size that your image needs to be. The X and Y dimensions need to be a multiple of 4. The Wonder Splash screen has an <Image> size of 971x565 so we'll use 972x568 (better to be a little bigger than smaller)
Using your favourite image manipulation program scale/crop the original to the required size
Save the image as a PNG file


Creating the DDS texture file

Start GIMP
Load the PNG file
Select File -> Save As... and expand the Select File Type (By Extension) item
Scroll down and select "DDS Image" (if there isn't this option check you installed the DDS plug-in correctly!)
Click Save
In the Save As DDS options panel, set Compression to "BC2/DXT3", leave "Generate Mipmap" unchecked and ignore the "Advanced Options" section
Click OK to save the dds file - for my sample MtRushmore.dds file, the original png is 845Kb and the compressed dds is 539Kb (if we hadn't used compression it would be 2.1Mb!)

And I can´t see dom image (DownOfManimage)
<DawnOfManImage>ahvenanmaaDOM.dds</DawnOfManImage>

What I make a wrong?

Please help me!
