How to view extra large images?

I just downloaded this file and I cannot open it with the default Image Viewer because it crashes without opening the image; is there any other way to open very large images?

I have 6GB of ram so this 200MB+ image should be opened without issues.

Solution 1:

The image size is over 200MB. I downloaded, and tried to open with image viewer, and it won't open. I opened with Gimp, and it works fine. See below

Solution 2:

All image viewers I tried, except "Gnome Image Viewer" worked fine opening that image:

• geeqie < imo, this one is by far the best image viewer
• gthumb
• shotwell
• feh

And it works also fine in other software that is not specialized in viewing images

• gimp
• firefox
• qgis

Sometimes, the Gnome software has much better alternatives (e.g. gedit is the same, very slow for big files).
