PS CS2 won’t open very large JPG

I have a test jpg image that is 380k filesize with 40,768 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall.

Photoshop CS2 supports several large pixel/filesize formats. But I guess JPG isn’t one of them.

Yet I have no problem opening it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager that comes with Office 2003. Where it opens and loads fast with no issues.

So I am hoping that in the future the 10th version of Photoshop will finally be able to handle something this simple. Maybe even a patch for CS2 would be nice. Or a plugin, or something. Just seems like a simple thing to overlook when the 2003 version of Office can do it.

Any comments? (Hopefully no comments about ram, OS, filesystems, etc.)

Just to let everyone know. What I have to do to get around this oversight, is I use the Free IRfanView 3.97 to convert it to a TIFF.

Then I am able to open a TIFF of this size in Photoshop CS2 and then I am able to save it as a PSB, photoshop RAW, or TIFF. But then I lose my tiny JPG filesize of 380K. Compressed TIFF gets me the lowest CS2 format of over 5Megs.

So while I can work around this in several ways. It is odd that just about every other app can deal with this original 380K jpeg, but CS2 can’t.

Use Save for Web instead of Save….

Save For Web is not available in CS2 when dealing with images with such large demensions. Again, this seems like an oversight.

Aside from PS not being able to open your file, I have hard time considering your 380kb file a very large jpg file. Now what kind of weird dimentions are 40,768 by 100 pixels?

What do you mean "what kind of weird dimentions are 40,768 x 100 pixels"? That is the dimensions. And by the way, I never said that 380k was a very large filesize. The dimensions are very large. At least on the x axis.

This file is a test file of a much larger image that is over 40,000 x 30,000 pixels large. I don’t have access to that file, only this test "slice".

Yet I still am shocked that version 9.0 of Photoshop can’t open a Jpeg of this size when so many other apps, even free ones; can.

Hopefully this is just an oversight and will be addressed in photoshop 10.0.
