How do I do a temporary (local) image upload in V3?

You don't see this option because it doesn't exist in the official viewer, Porky. Any upload is done for good and costs 10L.

ETA: There was never a free temp upload option, even in the old 1.23:

The key differences, I think, between LL's version of temporary image upload and that used by some TPVs are that

LL's temp uploads are visible only to you, which makes them no good for collaborative building
LL's temp uploads reflect changes you make in Gimp or Photoshop as soon as you save the image, which is handy
LL's temp uploads will continue to work after server-side baking is introduced, which the unofficial system certainly won't do (if it's still working now, that is -- I am not sure).
