... 94 megapixels is an unusually *large* image. At 3 bytes per pixel (or 4 if any alpha-channel stuff is happening) this would take 283 (or 377) MB of memory to render the image. And then the web browser may make another copy to compose it into a huge page, before downscaling it to fit the viewable window. I'm not surprised that some programs can handle it, but other programs not. John
