Some textures I can't edit, but others I can! Help!

So, I edit one of the textures in BG in photoshop by changing the hue colors, and when I inject my lovely new texture I get 2 errors:

error #1: "The texture you are trying to import is smaller than the existing data. HMT will update the size"... [click OK]

error #2: "Image being injected must be DXT1" [it is]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing this right because it has worked before with no problem. I'm editing the sky by the way. It is so far the only texture I haven't been able to edit (I can do banshees, warthogs, etc with no problem). I'm 100% sure that I'm saving it as DXT1 when I save it.

What's wrong here? Why would some textures work but not others?

are you using hmt 2 or 3?

make sure that the texture your replacing is of the same type as what you save it as. If it says it's DXT2/3, make it a DXT2 in PS if it's a DXT1 make it a DXT1 in PS.

Praise the lord! It works in dxt3! I guess I just assumed it's DXT1 b/c of the error message. Oh well. Thanks, U are the man!

There's this one texture that is not dxt at all, it says "A8R8G8B8". How do I save that?

N/M, "CX8VU8" works...I think...
