I'm using Blender 2.76, for some reason when i click "open image" and select an image in edit mode it does't open in the uv editor, but it does let me do so in object mode. I have no clue why this is happening, it's never happened before. I googled the problem and they adviced unwrapping the uv, but I already tried doing that and it does nothing. It only happens for this file.

This is the latest version of the file: drive.google.com/file/d/1ZdPN_Zzez8L-_qtS8iIJG7niochDAMOW/view?usp=sharing

This is the latest versin of the file where it lets me open an image in edit mode: drive.google.com/file/d/18wdLbIjAvA6WJEzlfpcwuJTg1JD7CEFP/view?usp=sharing

This is the version where it stops working: drive.google.com/file/d/1KxOT0VgEJeXcfGuWhAuDzVfHSDaXvGx0/view?usp=sharing

This is pretty frustrating because if i can't open images I can't use a template and know where I'm placing things. I tried opening the file in Blender 3.0, but then the UVs don't show up at all. Should I try installing another blender version? Should I just do this blindly?

Hi. It works fine for me so you must be doing something wrong:
- switch to edit mode;
- select everything with A;
- Open, choose your image;
- shrink the uvs with S Y 0.5.

That said, if you plan on sharing this dress with other people, you must go back to MD and reduce its polycount. Right now it is high enough to crush the game for most people. If this happens to them once, they will never download from you again regardless.

More than a half of that polycount comes from buttons alone, you should either never use them or reduce their polycount manually. That would still be high enough to crush the game, so you should go back to MD and either change the topology to quads and keep Particle distance high or retopologize the mesh

Thank you for the resources as well, I wasn't planning on leaving the poly count like that. Sorry for posting when it turned out to be such a dumb mistake
