4 years ago Right now, downsampling kicks in whenever the width or height of an image is at or over 10k pixels, and then it gets downsampled to 8k pixels on the largest dimension. The problem that I was running into is that even if the image is small on disk, it ends up getting decompressed into a byte array, which can be too large to fit into memory. Unfortunately the limitation is a part of Javascript as it currently exists. It's a 32-bit language, so the largest chunk of memory that it can reserve is 2 GB.
I can add a feature to configure the max image size in this next release so that you can play around with it with your images. You might be able to push it a little higher!

How is the maximum size before downsampling applies set? I'm currently trying to look at 7 different channels, each of which are 5-15 MBs.
However, they are getting downsampled. It seems like these could all pretty comfortably fit into memory. Is there a way to increase the amount of available memory? Alternatively, what is the current max? That way I can split the file into pieces that are as large as can fit.
