Can you be more specific about texture size? Is it to do with the resolution for upload to SL, or are you having trouble creating/finding good textures?

no........ my textures are coming out fine.... its the size of them ....when i upload them and try to apply them .. there all so very small...... then when i try to enlarge them , they start to do a repeat pattern . so i end up with very small.. textures..or a small repeat pattern.... say ... like a flower. it comes out ok. but its way to small..then when i go to enlarge it on a flat prim.. i get a repeat pattern of it... i have tried fiddling with the pixels but to no avail.the resolutions are fine ... everything is fine except for the size.... mmmm. so im stumped.. : ).?

In the edting tool, texture page, number per vertical and number per horizontal, choose 1.0.

Dont use the number per sq. m box at the bottom, unless you want repeats.

Do what Barbarra said, and also check the "Stretch Textures" box in the editor. With it checked, when you resize a prim, the texture will remain fixed at 1 per face. Otherwise, when you stretch the prim, the texture's absolute size will remain fixed, and it will just repeat over and over to fill the prim surface, just as you're describing.
