Use lossless compression

Second Life normally applies a lossy compression to uploaded images, meaning they'll appear a bit fuzzier but load quicker. However, lossy compression isn't desirable for when exact precision is needed, such as the values used in sculpted prims and certain other smaller textures. Check this box if that's your intent. Note that lossless compression only applies to smaller textures, as described on our Issue Tracker.

Upload (L$10)

Confirm uploading your image after previewing it. Each uploaded image deducts L$10 from your balance.
