@snacks @paula8 gwenview and krita should also work okay. the latter has options to swap tiles to disk when the RAM limit is exceeded

web browsers will absolutely not handle it well though

@snacks @paula8 no lag because my system never lags with how i’ve configured it, but 16 GB RAM were apparently not enough to open this in krita lol

@paula8 @snacks yeah krita is not efficient with this at all

seems to decode the whole thing into a single big buffer, which takes forever because PNG is a terrible format… and then copies it around in memory a few times? idk.

i think gwenview simply won’t open it because the resolution exceeds its integer range.

@snacks @paula8 anyway for a poster you won’t need more than 300 dpi at most. they don’t print ’em any finer than that.

@paula8 @snacks you calculate it based on the physical size of the poster
