Kewl ... I was hoping that Photoshop and GMAX were compatible (meaning that I could use Photoshop to create for GMAX). I need to check and see if I have the NVIDIA plug-ins and if I don't, I will get them. Thank you!

I would suggest both of these free packages from nVidea:

Adobe Photoshop Normal Map and DDS Authoring Plug-ins
This installer contains two plug-ins.  The first creates normal maps from height maps for per pixel rendering. The other is a DXTC texture compression plugin for Adobe Photoshop that allows you to open and save .dds files in RGB format. It reads and writes .dds files compressed or uncompressed.

DDS Thumbnail Viewer
Allows you to view .dds files in Thumbnail view in the Windows Explorer.  Now with an installer.
