Viewers for Large Images?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday April 3, 2002 @07:32PM from the and-we-mean-LARGE dept.

mateub asks: "Before setting off to write something of our own, we have been looking for an image viewer that can deal with large (e.g. 10k by 10k pixel) CMYK TIFF images. Note that this is not necessarily the same thing as saying that the file is large, but usually it will be. A smart program could allocate enough memory to show the 1k by 1k pixels of a normal monitor and read other parts of the file when the user scrolls. Not fast, but functional. We've tried ImageMagick, and it isn't that smart--it runs out of memory even on my 1GB RAM, 4GB swap workstation. It appears The Gimp and xv can't even handle CMYK. Are there any programs that can display these images?"
