[ubuntu] Image Viewer only opens fraction of an image

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Many images are only partially loading in the default Image Viewer application. All of the problematic files seem to be .jpg's and they all open in Gimp just fine. I've looked around for similar threads and launchpad entries, but I can't seem to find anything. I'm running 12.04 LTS. I attached an image demonstrating the issue. Any ideas?

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Image Viewer only opens fraction of an image

This is a rather baffling problem. Running Fedora 16 LXDE spin on my netbook. I removed the default (gpicview?) image viewer because I preferred Shotwell. Now my problem is that I cannot find a way to set Shotwell Viewer as the default image viewing application. For PNG's it automatically opens the viewer, but JPG's open the Shotwell photo manager.

The Eye of GNOME image viewer is the official image viewer for the GNOME Desktop environment. With it, you can view single image files, as well as large image collections. The Eye of GNOME supports a variety of image file formats. The GdkPixbuf library determines which file formats Eye of GNOME can load and save.

I need a good image viewer that can view images that are 40,000x40,000 and several hundred megabytes in size at least. These are TIFF files. GIMP can open these but nothing else I've tried can; I often get the return "Image dimensions too large". but some viewers just fail.

In my entomological work I often need to compare two images of bugs side-by-side.

Comparisons are surprisingly hard to do with either of the image viewers I normally use, namely Eye of Gnome and Ristretto. First I open two instances of the viewer and adjust their window sizes and positions for easy side-by-side comparison.

I made a 3GB tif panorama, but as 3GB is a too big size to open in a computer with a 3Gb RAM, i converted it to JPG

convert input.tif output.jpg

The result was a 15Mb(?!?) JPG, which i am unable to open with any image viewer (memory allocation fails).

How can i render such a big image, and why is this conversion so small and unable to open anywhere?

PS: Is there any image viewer ideal for

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way I can view .CR2 raw photos without opening GIMP. It seams overkill to open a full-featured editing program just to view a photo. I'm looking for a program that will allow me to quickly view the photo and maybe cycle through them using the directional keys...

GThumb ignores images 1 year 5 weeks ago

I have a fresh install of 64-bit Fedora 16. When I run GThumb, it does see my image files (JPG and PNG), but it always shows them as small icons, even if I double click on them. In other words, it seems as though it does not know that these are image files. As an example, I expected that I could zoom in and out using +/-, nope.

When I'm viewing many images w/ xv (sometimes in "visual schnauzer" mode), I sometimes want to "bookmark" or annotate a given image.

I don't think xv can do this, but is there another xv-like image viewer that can?

Is it possible to add "programmable hot-keys" to xv so that typing certain letters lets you call external commands (eg, "emacs ")?

Another day, another command line/Console based application. Just to refresh your memory, last time we told you about a Linux framebuffer Image viewer, Fbi, that lets you view images without a X server.
