<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am joining a stack of 2D tiffs into a 3D tiff, and have run into a problem with big files. When the uncompressed size of the 3D file is more than 2GB I get an error when I try to view it with Irfanview. At first I thought maybe I needed to upgrade from
ITK4.8.0, but after installing and using ITK4.12.2 I see that I have the same issue. Irfanview says:<br>
</p>
<p>"Invalid or unsupported TIF file"<br>
</p>
<p>I now suspect that the problem is not ITK-related, rather it is a limitation of Irfanview.<br>
</p>
<p>I have two questions:<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is there a limit on the allowed size of a tiff file?<br>
</p>
<p>Is there another program (preferably free) that can open for viewing tiff files bigger than 2GB?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It is useful but not essential for me to be able to view these big 3D files. I will use ITK functions to process the 3D files, and I'm assuming that any file that ITK can create it can also read.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
</p>
<p>Gib<br>
