It's OK, but giving information about your system is really really important when asking for help with software crashes. > Yeah, I run in on Windows 10.

Windows might need a large swap file (on the same partition as the main Windows disk, good old C: itself) so that might be a problem. Also make sure you have downloaded 64-bit versions of GIMP or whatever you're using. > Is there perhaps just a way to cut the image into muliple images? Most software to do that will need to load the image into memory. Do you know the dimensions (size in pixels) of the image? And whether it's RGB colour or greyscale?? Or is the image publicly available somewhere? And, what size do you want to end up with? Does Windows Picture Viewer open the image? IrfanView is popular but has a 32-bit limit on file size, so even though your PNG image is only one gigabyte in disk size, it's compressed; if it uncompresses to more than 4 gigabytes, IrfanView will probably crash, as will most other 32- bit programs. Some other programs: * http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/ [view only, no resize] * http://delhoume.frederic.free.fr/vliv.htm can export the current zoom view; shareware * http://fwtools.maptools.org/ (may be hard to use) Liam _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
