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.

Subject: Re: Problem opening large ND2 files in ImageJ

Hi Michael,

the problem with image size is probably related to the memory you have 
allocated to ImageJ.
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.

Michael
