If it wasn't for the trees I would have thought it was some sort of extremely wide ice cream desert

and I thought my 4000dpi 35mm scans were big!

Tony.

edit: and don't you just hate IE6. It almost instantaneously resized it to fit within my screen, and it was so narrow the little thingy that pops up to let you put it back wasn't visible, grumble grumble, searching through advanced options grumble.......

Put your mouse somewhere on the image near the right hand side, wait till the icons appear and then right click on the image. While the menu is visible, the icons will not disappear when you move the mouse off the image so you can now move the mouse and click the icon to show the image at it's original size. If you can't see the buttons that popup properly, it's the one on the right.

Thanks for sharing.
Loads only a very small part in IE6, nothing in Netscape.
Fortunately I could see the explanation page. http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/gigapixel.htm
I admit it's impressive

Hi Dan,

It was doing something odd, was only popping up for a fraction of a second, and my aging reflexes (and probably more my tiredness) meant I couldn't click on it quick enough, after a little while it stopped popping up at all so I went into advanced options and disabled the auto resize images and refreshed the page more than one way to skin a cat......

Hugo you should be able to do the same if Dan's suggestion doesn't work for you...

Regards,

Tony.

Hmm...tried that, doesn't work. The problem is in the download process. Look at the slidebars in the attached picture. Only a very small portion of the picture is downloaded, then the browser says: 'Done'. 'Gereed' in Dutch. This auto resize thing has no influence. Clearing the cache doesn’t help either.

That's what you get when you direct link to an image instead of posting a link to the page, as was done in the original Slashdot article:
http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/gigapixel.htm
Quoting the page:
"Here is full sized crop from the original image. It is 40784 pixels wide, but only 100 pixels tall. It covers the entire width of the full size image, and illustrates the amount of detail captured. It has not been sharpened, and is saved as a low quality 380KB file (to save bandwidth)."
Think people, the original image is a TIFF with size of a couple of GIGABYTES. Would you expect to be able to download the whole image???

A whole day perhaps.
Thanks Prune, now I get it.

Sorry Hugo I thought you were talking about the tiny (about 2mm high) version that IE 6 resized mine to ........ Yeah downloading a couple of gig would take a while, even if comressed with jpeg it would probably crash IE anyway

Tony.
