Both formats, briefly
PNGIN
Use PNG when every pixel has to survive the save. Its compression throws nothing away, so text stays crisp, flat color stays flat, and a screenshot looks identical after ten round trips. PNG also carries a real alpha channel, which is why logos, icons and interface assets sit cleanly on any background. The trade-off is weight: a photograph stored as PNG runs several times larger than the same photo as JPG.
DDSOUT
DDS keeps textures in the form a graphics card wants to receive them. Block compressed data such as DXT and BC stays compressed in video memory, and mipmaps, cube maps and volume textures can all sit in the same file, so an engine loads it and draws with it directly. If you are modding a game, preparing assets for DirectX, or looking at art unpacked from a title, DDS is what you are handling.
