Hi, When assigning memory to ImageJ (Edit/ Options/ Memory & Threads) the amount appears in MB. Could the units be altered to GB - and therefore fit the space in the window.

ImageJ has a limit for the number of pixels in an image of 2^31 - 1, roughly 2.14e9. Your image size is 58157 x 33163 = 1.93e9, so in principle it should be possible to open it. With 4 channels, 2 bytes each, the image needs 14 GB of memory, plus 7 GB (4 bytes/pixel) to display it. If you want to do any operations on the image you will need more memory. I think that 32 GB RAM with 30 GB or so allocated to ImageJ (if no other program is open) would be the minimum for very basic operations; many operations will need more.
