When
Durova started her work on the
Indonesian story cloth for the
Tropenmuseum, we knew that we could not show it in all its glory on
Commons. It is just too big. In real life it is 15 meters long, the TIFF is 992,4 MB.
Converting it to PNG would reduce its size. JPG compression would make it even smaller but the image would lose much of its appeal if it is to be reduced to less then 100 MB. At this size it would still be unmanageably big.

Enter
Djatoka, this open source application provides you with the ability to view incredibly big files in a manageable way. I am really grateful to the
Los Alamos National Laboratory for hosting the story cloth for us in Djatoka.
Have a look and, enjoy.
Thanks,
