[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm saying this just personally, not with any backup... But, my brother's
camera is a 'silly' pixel size (10 G) .... Try open that on a computer with
8G that has no swap.... I suspect it may fail. When I open them in raw
format on my 4G machine... swap (and I mean hard drive swap as well) gets
REALLY busy.

I'll get a really big image posted upto my server area for you to have a
play with... It may be educational.

Rule #1: Always expect the user to do something you had not planned for....
Rule #2: Read Rule #1..

Regards,

Phill.
