How do you open the earth image?

[dude8604]

I've tried every program I have and none of them work. I have 512MB RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem. Photoshop 5 freezes halfway through opening the file. ACDsee says that the bitmap could not be created. MS paint and quicktime picture viewer give me errors. The Picture viewer program that comes with winXP works, but when I try to have the picture shown at actual size, it doesn't work.

Btw, I'm talking about the 600MB satellite image of the earth from nasa.

Does IrFan View work with it too? Try that, freebie...

Believe it or not ms image viewer worked for me. It did take like 5 min or so to open it.

Photoshop 7, 1.1gigs of ram and G4 867mhz. worked well.

IMO, the images aren't all that. I'd rather have less area and more detail. It was pretty cool to see though.
