GIMP should be able to handle such large images While GIMP can theoretically open such large images, it will need a ridiculous amount of memory for it. Such an image would need about 128 GB. So unless you are doing this on a supercomputer, loading the image will not finish in reasonable time.

I think this is an absolute fact prove that GIMP can't work with huge images. For that I'll send a bug report (or a feature request) about that. No need. We are well aware of that limitation.

[Gimp-user] Opening huge images
Hi All, I'm working on NLP project so I've to use huge TIFF images (12*12 px) but I can't do open or create them by GIMP! Is there any ability for expanding performance of GIMP specially for huge images? P.S. I successfully created and opened huge images by CorelPhotoPaint and PhotoShop too. But because I don't have them (I used my friend's laptop) and I Linux user, I've to use GIMP instead :-P - Best Regards Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi My Blog: http://mbnoimi.net/ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
