Help with DDS

Alright, Im trying to figure out this DDS stuff so I can replace marine faces with my own custom faces, and replace other DDS things. I got a DDS converter, and it doesnt work and this is what it says when I try to convert a Bitmap...

Conversion from [BMP] to [DDS] using [nvDXT] started...
Error: [Face Replacement.bmp] size = not a power of 2
Conversion has failed.

Can anyone help me out? I got the convert by going to google and typing in DDS converter, and I went to the first site listed. THANKS MUCH!

Hmm you would be better off getting a photoshop trial and using the dds plugin.

Hmmm...I got the trial and the DDS plugin, and when I try to open up DDS files from Halo on Adobe ImageReady, it says...

Could not complete this operation because the plug-in made an invalid request of the PhotoShop Adapter (error #-1)

Any ideas on how to resolve this problem anyone? Thanks much.

Open it with photoshop not image ready. I dont think the plugin works for image ready.

Alright, thanks to a friend, I got this working. Problem is, when I paste the faces on the original faces and play the game, they faces are either black, or multicolored, and when I get upclose, then I see a very polygoned deformed version of the face. Do I also need to edit the Multi-purpose faces for any reason? I keep the faces the same length and width and everything. If you want, I can post links to photos if you need those to help solve the issue. Thanks.
