If anyone wants to look at this image properly then you need OpenSeadragon and VIPS.
OpenSeadragon enables you to view this image at full resolution without your device keeling over, VIPS enables you to make the image tiles required to get OpenSeadragon to work.
OpenSeadragon has only ever made it to the academic world, in this age of Instagram people want average resolution selfies that take three seconds to look at. OpenSeadragon enables a deeper look.
If anyone has ten minutes spare:
https://openseadragon.github.io/ https://openseadragon.github.io/
On linux just apt-get install vips and then:
vips dzsave massive.jpg massive
And you are then good to go.
Now where was that torrent link...?
- enriquto 8y agoFor images of a moderate size such as this one, viewing it on a regular image viewer is less of a hassle.
- Theodores 8y agoSuch as? I didn't see any example of that in the comment threads.
- planteen 8y agoFirefox works great, as others have mentioned.
- Theodores 8y agoHave you tried OpenSeadragon? I feel like I have been casting pearls at swines here.
- enriquto 8y agoOpenseadragon may make sense for huge images, not for merely large ones as this one, that fits comfortably in memory. Besides, not everyone is keen on using "web-based" programs just because.
