Hi,<br>
<br>
I tried to load both images. The smaller image loads fine; the larger image<br>
crashed Scribus three times. I took it into an image editing program and<br>
reduced the size (so that it was the same size as the one that does load)<br>
and it worked great.<br>
<br>
I'm running Scribus 1.4.0.rc4 on Windows 7 -- an AMD Athlon II X2 250 (3.00<br>
GHz) with 4 gigs of ram.<br>
<br>
Hope that helped someone!<br>

the image loads correctly here...<br>
<br>
not too much RAM (well, enough of it, but not so much), not a fast CPU<br>
either...<br>
<br>
but, well, some sort of linux and a distribution + window manager which<br>
leave all the process power for the applications needing it.<br>
(ok, i have admit that i was looking a film in a flash application and gimp<br>
was also open...)<br>
<br>
we have had some issues with people failing to load big images in windows...<br>
i wonder if scribus has a problem there...<br>
<br>
... or if it would be easier if people started to switch to linux because<br>
it's simply better... at least for loading big images into scribus...<br>
<br>
<br>
can anybody using windows also try to load the image?<br>
<br>
and, you, do you really need such a big image?<br>
<br>

<br clear="all"></div></div></blockquote></div>This is to be expected, I believe, but I was able to load the huge image onto a Scribus page, export the page to a pdf, and print the pdf on my local printer. Mind you, it took a while for the huge image to load into the selection dialog box that displays the image before selecting and a fair about of time to load into the image frame. However, at no time did my machine OS (Ubuntu 11.04) ever crash. Meanwhile I had a ton of stuff open at the same time. I have only 3GB of RAM. Sounds as if the Windoze paging file runs out of space whereas Linux uses different algorithm for paging beyond RAM capability. I cannot find a problem with the file albeit, I cannot imagine a need for such a large image file.<br>
