Large file not loading

[hendric]

I went through the listed troubleshooting steps, but I still get this error when I try to load a large PNG file.

 

Application version: paint.net 4.1.5

System.OverflowException: Overflow error.
   at System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(Stream stream, Boolean useEmbeddedColorManagement, Boolean validateImageData)
   at PaintDotNet.Data.PngFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\PaintDotNet\Data\PngFileType.cs:line 114
   at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in D:\src\pdn\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 496
   at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in D:\src\pdn\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158

 

The PNG file is the new large Hubble image of M33.  It is 1.51GB, 32073x41147 on the drive. 

I have 16 GB of system memory and I can create a new canvas of that size and draw on it, so I assume I should be able to load an image of that size?

 

 

Possibly the image is corrupt, but I have tried downloading it twice, and Windows was able to generate a thumbnail for it (eventually!).  The half-resolution image is able to load successfully.

 

The image is located at http://hubblesite.org/image/4305/news_release/2019-01

 

Thanks for any help.

Looking at the formula, for paint.net that image uses (32073x41147x4)x(3) = 15.9GB of memory.

In addition to that, paint.net starts breaking down with images that are bigger than 30k pixels wide/high.

It's just too big.

Greetings,

 

I don't think the system memory size is the problem as much as processing speed. I have a 6 core processor  with 4 CPUs and 2 GPUs. It took several minutes to save a 32k x 42k image of a white screen. Are you using an i7 or a Ryzen 8 core?

BTW:
It took ~20 minutes to save and created a 1.24 MB PNG  at an 8 bit color depth file.

It's actually GDI+, which uses WIC, which can't handle an image of that size. I'm not yet clear whether it's a GDI+ limitation or a WIC limitation.

 

I'm able to load a PDN that is 65,535 x 65,535 pixels. However, I can't save that to a PNG because GDI+ (aka System.Drawing) can't handle it.

 

I plan to address this at some point, but right now I'm not sure when that'll happen.
