How to convert pictures to TDX format ?

I can't find a place that explains how to convert cards art to TDX format.

Do you use the Gibbed TdxConvert tool ? When i try, it gives me a size file of 500k instead of the normal 126k size that i can find in the illustrations archive...
I've tried to see at options (like --dxt1) for TdxConvert.exe using command line but it seems there's none.

How do you convert all the images then ?

You are not necessarily doing anything wrong. The 126kb size derives from a 512x376 image size. If your tdx files are larger is probably due to a large starting image. I use the method posted by kev here:

There are other tools out there as well like Riiak's modified gibbed tools that compresses the image as well.

Thanks, I was just using an old TdxConvert version which had no DXT compression options...
