    Dear all,
    I am looking for some kind of solution which will allow to read the image file
    partially - let's say to several FIBITMAPs. I need to copy image data to the
    secondary object so currently I need to handle double size of image in RAM so
    for big images arroung 1GB size app uses to much resources and crashes.
    Basically I search for idea to provide a better memory handling for large
    images.

    Hi,

    FreeImage was never targeted to handle very large images. All images handled
    by FreeImage are loaded entirely, so that you must have enough memory
    available in order to process your images.
    Another solution is to use the VIPS library : it is especially targeted to
    handle very large images. See
