The biggest fucking image (almost) that I have ever encountered
is located here:

Loading Image...

It measures 30,000 X 17,000 pixels. Holy fuck!

But on my GNU/Linux system, every image viewer that I've tried
(GIMP, xzgv, geeqie) was able to quickly load and display this
gigantic image without problem.

I have posted a very small detail here:

Loading Image...

Yeah. It's fucking cracked. What the fuck do you expect?
It was painted on wood with oils about 600 years ago.

But I wonder how Microslop Winblows would fare. I would bet
that junk system would choke, crash, and burn. After all,
that's what it does best.

Brother, if you ain't using GNU/Linux then please check your
head for cracks.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

incorrect. Your GuhNoo crapware is faulty, as usual.


I downloaded it with wget.

Oh look! Feeb has just discovered The Garden Of Earthly Delights.

Its fine in Safari Browser on MacOS. No fancy image viewer needed. Zoom in,
scroll up/down and left/right.

This image has been available for many years. But Feeb is SO proud that his
pile of junk hardware on a shelf can display it.

Grow up, Feeb. You are always rushing in here with some trivial info that you
feel is SO important. As if Linux is the only system that can do these
"amazing" things.

Also - as expected - you did not leave COLA.

Can you cut out a piece as I have done?

Answer: No.

Can you edit the file or transform it in many ways?

Answer: No.

Only in GNU/Linux is this possible.

No brains. Head of bone. It must be Tyrone.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Are you high or something? The video/image/audio editing tools on Macs are
the best in the world. People are editing entire movies/TV shows on Macs. If
you think this piddly little 200MB picture is going to choke a Mac, then you
ARE high.

"Huge Image!" indeed. Only "huge" to you, as your antique spinning hard drives
grind away to load it up.

Your $500 Intel-powered space heater on your shelf is nowhere near State Of
The Art. It might have been, 25 years ago. But now it is laughable.

BTW why are you still in COLA? You loudly boasted that you were "leaving". I
see you keep adding your "new group" when you reply to me, but I am not
posting there.

Nope. 30K x 70K is indeed a huge image. Outside of scientific circles
such sizes are extremely uncommon.

If you disagree the give examples. But you can't and you won't.

Yes, it is. In competent hands, like mine, it will mop the floor with
all comers.

But the fact that you even bothered to respond to my post only proves beyond
all doubt that you are a fucking loser idiot.

You cannot give any proof. You cannot provide any refutation whatsoever.
Yet you take time from fucking your ugly wife/girlfriend/boyfriend just
to respond to a post that you find to be frivolous. What a weird fuck!

You'd better court MAGA followers. There's nobody here that gullible.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Tyrone is a weird fuck. Physical ugliness will do that to a person.

It might have been "huge" 20 years ago. Today it is nothing. One could edit
this picture on a phone today.

Which is the whole point. You claiming this pic is some sort of "test" for
ANY modern computer is absurd. That your pile of shit on a shelf handles it is
proof enough.

I have easily edited this even on my 11 year old Mac mini. It has a crappy
Intel i5 quad core CPU and 8GB of RAM. No problems at all. Naturally, my 8
year old Windows 10 laptop also works fine. It is an i7 hyperthreaded 4 core
with 16GB RAM.

So, of COURSE this modern Mac can handle it. If this was 25 years ago and I
had a Pentium 4 with 128 MB RAM and 256K of video RAM, this would be a "huge
file".

Again, you are truly clueless. But at least you are consistent. You know
nothing about every topic you pontificate about.

I see you totally ignored being busted about still being in COLA. You didn't
even bother to add your "new group" this time. Typical kiddie behaviour.

incorrect.   Your GuhNoo crapware is faulty, as usual.
I downloaded it with wget.
size on disk: 233,684,992 bytes.
width:  30000 pixels
height: 17078 pixels
unique colors: 771607  (irfanview)
The "Huge!" part got me looking at a Kodachrome slide scan I'd done:

size: 1,208,386,573 bytes (1.21 GB on disk)
width: 11551
height: 17433
unique colors: {no idea}

For 'unique colors', I'd not ever thought about that metric; I'll have
to see if my existing imaging tools support it, or go get irfanview to
give it a try that way.

FYI, reason for my file's size is that its at 16 bits/channel ... from
way back when it was scanned in 2004. Didn't turn out to be necessary,
IMO, but it shows what COTS imaging capabilities existed 20 years ago.

Irfanview?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Irfanview is another ripoff. It uses FOSS libraries exclusively
for all of its functionality. It's just another Winblows wrapper
around open source tools.

But, of course, the Winblows crowd, being the stupefied dumb fucks
that they are, could not discern yet another brazen theft from the
FOSS community.

Nah, Feeb opted for the frontal lobotomy treatment instead.

In any event, he tried to rail about one tool which happened to have
been mentioned for generating a metric that I've never really ever been
particularly interested in, so that's pretty much an "I don't care".

OTOH, Feeb did snip my post's portion which had an equally large image:

[quote]
The "Huge!" part got me looking at a Kodachrome slide scan I'd done:

size: 1,208,386,573 bytes (1.21 GB on disk)
width: 11551

[/quote]

Which when combined with what it went on to also say:

[quote]

way back when it was scanned in 2004. Didn't turn out to be necessary,
IMO, but it shows what COTS imaging capabilities existed 20 years ago.
[/quote]

Which showed that he's ~20 years behind technologically.


Plus there's an earlier post of mine which he knew better than to touch
shows us that he's way out of his depth on the topic too:

[quote]
Was thinking the same thing...

<https://photo-hh.com/usenet/no_one_answer.jpg>
...
Plus when it comes to artistic understanding of images, as John Shaw
illustrated in his books, there is no one "correct" interpretation.
As such, even derivatives are free to take on their own tangents, which
is what I chose to illustrate.

Plus if one wants to emphasize the gnarly crinkled texture, simply crank
up the contrast, sharpen, or use an unsharp mask (BTDT).

Plus all have been very available as GUI tools with preview functions
such that one can tweak to one's heart content prior to committing the
CPU (& human) time to rendering the full image, which results in a more
productive workflow than Feeb's scripting from a more immediate artist
feedback loop.
[/quote]

TL;DR: just YA lame Feeb troll attempt, but at least in a modestly less
boring subject than his "I finally got my PC to boot this month" bit.

Try that with that junk known as Microslop Winblows.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Sure thing.

Big deal.

Using a simpleton bash script, you converted a color image to grayscale
- alert the media! Why none of your "extraordinary" C programming?

Year after year you do something very trivial and ignorantly /
dishonestly claim it can't be done on Windows.

wtf lameass? Get a new schtick.

Linux, loneliness and testosterone really is a bad mix.

Plus when it comes to artistic understanding of images, as John Shaw
illustrated in his books, there is no one "correct" interpretation.
As such, even derivatives are free to take on their own tangents, which
is what I chose to illustrate.

Plus if one wants to emphasize the gnarly crinkled texture, simply crank
up the contrast, sharpen, or use an unsharp mask (BTDT).

Plus all have been very available as GUI tools with preview functions
such that one can tweak to one's heart content prior to committing the
CPU (& human) time to rendering the full image, which results in a more
productive workflow than Feeb's scripting from a more immediate artist
feedback loop.
