Reduce the image resolution of only certain collections

Is that even possible to add that kind of feature? So you could reduce the load of the environment, for example, without killing the texture of the girls...

Hi! Unfortunately not without saving the new images to disk (that is, downgrading the images) :(

[envlightsourcegaben]

The blender got "resize" option in UV editor, can't it be addressed somehow?

[Mustard2]

I should check that :)

I think with this, will have to save the resized files to the HDD or the changes will be lost upon closing! unless making the feature volatile (working in the current session only by holding images in the RAM), but data will be lost in case of crush!

Yeah I tried to explore the possibility, but even if the resize option above it's not possible without duplicating images in memory or on HDD, making the whole thing dangerous from memory perspective (we can not assume additional RAM available on the user side).

I can add a tool to downsize textures on the HDD though, but it will require external packages (imagemagick?) and might be tricky to add in the Blender Extension package. I have to think about it a bit. :)
