CompressedImageData

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0
In versions prior to 0.10.0 it was named CompressedData, however that name is used for something else now.

Represents compressed image data designed to stay compressed in RAM.

CompressedImageData encompasses standard compressed texture formats such as DXT1, DXT5, and BC5 / 3Dc.

You can't draw CompressedImageData directly to the screen. See Image for that.
