NVIDIA Plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop have two main components:

NormalMapFilter — filter for Photoshop that can convert any image to normal map. It works on Height2Normal algorithm, so source image must have darker parts representing the "deep" and lighter parts as elevations ( as the Bump Map does ). In other words — not any raw image can be converted to quality normal map, and if you need one — it's may be better to process source image by hands. Filter has many options for Normal Map generation procedure and ability to preview the result in 3D View window.

DDS Plug-In — allows to open and save .dds files, compressed with DXTC algorithm ( files with .dds extension ), choose required compression profile and more. DDS format ( Direct Draw Surface ) is widely used in game production and often game model textures compressed with it.

 P.S. Be careful with any manipulations with your textures and always save your work before apply any filter. In general it's good practice to save often and in different files
