How to view extra large images?
The image size is over 200MB. I downloaded, and tried to open with image viewer, and it won't open. I opened with Gimp, and it works fine. See below
The image opens perfectly fine in Shotwell Photo Manager (version 0.22.0) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Shotwell Screenshot
Alternately, you can try out ImageMagick(Q16) image editor.
All image viewers I tried, except "Gnome Image Viewer" worked fine opening that image:

< imo, this one is by far the best image viewergthumb
shotwell
feh
And it works also fine in other software that is not specialized in viewing images
gimp
firefox
qgis
Sometimes, the Gnome software has much better alternatives (e.g. gedit
is the same, very slow for big files).
