Create YTD
Allow you to create one YTD file for each PNG or one YTD for all PNG file that going to be converted
The DDS file look darker than the PNG file, why ?
Even if it looks dark, it's normal cause this is how it is displayed
if you convert back from DDS to PNG, all color will be the same as the original PNG file.

my PNG before conversion :
DDS after conversion :
DDS to PNG :
But if I open one of the dark image, like test_c.png, it's totally fine
So for the answer, don't worry about it, it will be correct in game.
