Does anyone know of a malware-free image editor that can be used to edit huge images? And by huge I mean something like 25.000 ● 25.000 pixels... For example. The larger the better, hopefully even more than 50.000 ● 50.000.
Conclusions: GIMP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP) and ImageMagick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageMagick) are free and able to edit huge images.

Here's one program that can process really large images:

What are you wanting to do with such large images?

Thanks a lot, I'll try and see if I can make that work. :)
I draw cities (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,1329.0.html), and many of those are a part of a big map of connected cities I called "Blaland". I started on that about four years ago, and it has reached a size of 81 A4 papers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216). But, my scanner scans an A4 paper with a resolution of 2409 ● 3437 pixels, and it can't take the borders (I got this to be about 91 pixels when the borders are added together). I think it would be sad to resize it, so I wanted to collect it into an image of 22.409 (EU)/22,409 (US) ● 31.661 (EU)/31,661 (US) pixels. = 709,49 (EU)/709.49 (US) megapixels.

Thanks. Adobe Photoshop CS5 looks very expensive, 699 or 999 US$. I couldn't find CS4 though.
But do you know how to start ImageMagick? I've extracted the files. There's no .exe, so I assumed I had to use the command prompt, I just couldn't find what to write on the site.
Edit: I found out that GIMP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP) was able to edit my large image perfectly, thanks for the other program though. :)
