Research direction

Start by locating CreateDDSTextureFromMemoryEx and CreateDDSTextureFromFileEx, along with the corresponding DDSTextureLoader and WICTextureLoader entry points. Review how their current flags or forceSRGB arguments are handled; done means the proposed flip-vertical flags are supported and the DirectX Tool Kit for DX11 API change is applied consistently.

Description

enhancement

Proposal for DDS_LOADER_FLIPV and WIC_LOADER_FLIPV flags which would let you invert the image on load.

For DirectX Tool Kit for DX11 this would require a minor breaking change to change CreateDDSTextureFromMemoryEx and CreateDDSTextureFromFileEx from using bool forceSRGB to DDS_LOADER_FLAGS loadFlags. Since we use strongly typed flags, existing uses of false and true will have to be updated to DDS_LOADER_DEFAULT or DDS_LOADER_SRGB.
