That would happen if you had, under the Client menu, accidently checked "Compress snapshots to disk".

/me waves : mornin' Bilbo

From Chosen Few in the texturing forum:

"When you upload an image to SL, it gets stored on the server in JPEG2000 format, an optionally lossless type of compressed file. I won't bother posting much information about it since SL's implimentation of it is outside our control as users. If you're curious, you can read all about it at http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg2000/index.html."

Several programmes will open these files, including PSP, as well Photoshop with a plug-in added.

Compress images - this makes them into jpeg 2000 files

but stupidly it adds the suffix *.j2c
if you change the suffix to *.jpe they will open in your photo processor.


they are the same -just named wrongly; Lindens -you Fools!
