How to quickly view huge PNG images in OS X?

I need to view and zoom into selected parts of PNG images around 10,000x10,000px, ~10MB.

When I open these images with Preview, it takes over a minute to load and then is very slow to show the image in the proper resolution when zooming in.

Is there some tool that can view PNGs much faster? Either a native OS X app or something that can run in X window that I can compile from source will do.


Solution 1:

Give Xee a try.
