message: I wanted to download this image, but I have dial-up and I can't because it's huge. I know there's a smaller version, but it's not as detailed. Could someone put it in another format that has better compression so I can still see it in all its glory without a huge download? Nick Warren 01:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Samsara, this image is too large to load in your browser, it needs to be saved and loaded in an image editor. Try GIMP, but even with a good computer it will be slow. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 04:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Huge 

message: What is the point of having a huge picture with JPG compression on it, you would get more detail out of a smaller image with zip compression (or something else non-lossy). I don't get it.
:The uncompressed TIFF version of the image is 385 MB (you can download it from the NASA page that's linked), which is probably why the much smaller JPEG was chosen. Even with PNG compression, the filesize will still be huge. --Chaos386 10:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We would have chosen the largest, but Wikipedia currently has a 20mb filesize limit and does not support TIFFs. Thanks for answering this before I chould Chaos. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 14:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  JPG? 

message: The 10,000 x 10,000 size image does not load. It comes up with an error message instead. Also, I would suggest that is a mistake to upload huge images that no one can handle or would want to store on their hard disks. An upper limit of ten megabytes should be aimed at. -- Brothernight (talk) 17:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
