    Nasa recently uploaded some gigantic detailed pictures onto the internet.

    I downloaded the 470 meg png file.
    I have tried plenty of programs to open the file, and all of them either give me errors, or just sit there.
    Does anyone know a program that can handle that big of a file?
    Thank you.

    Do you have Photoshop installed? I don't know what errors you getting but sometimes it will cause conflicts with opening/handling certain files, sometimes .JPG and especially .PNG, even if you choose another program.

    I would start by uninstalling Photoshop. When you re-install it DO NOT make Photoshop the default program for .JPG and .PNG files, or if you want, any file type other than .PSD.
