Thanks all for the suggestions and feedback. I didn't find a way to increase the upload size through the client or in any config options in opensim even with more intense google searching, so I went the image slicing route. I hadn't used that tool in Photoshop before, so thanks for the tutorial link! Definitely made the whole thing easier, at least.<div>
<br></div><div>I understand why 1024 is a reasonable default for most use cases, but there are definitely times when the ability to upload a larger texture could be useful. If it's a viewer hard limit, I'd love to see the option to change it somewhere but I guess that would go to one of the viewer team's mailing lists. :)</div>

keep in mind, you can upload larger images in SL (and OpenSim as well)
but they will get clipped back down to 1024 max once they hit your
inventory. it's a hard limit imposed by (i believe) the viewer but i'm
not 100% positive. there have been endless requests to raise the limit
back to 2048 but SL is barely tolerable with current lag issues and
that's not going to improve any time soon so...<br>

I'm pretty sure SL supports up to 2048x2048. I've uploaded files that
big (animated textures). Might be a SIM limit.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [Opensim-users] Upload images larger than
1024x1024?<br>
</font><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>I'm not sure if this is an Imprudence question or an Opensim
question and some brief googling didn't provide an answer either.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is it possible to upload an image larger than 1024x1024? I
have a large texture that needs to be higher resolution so the text is
readable but when I try to upload (with Imp) it gives me a 1024x1024.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
