BIIIG TIFF!
Aperio Technologies has announced support for BigTIFF. It's not clear what this means, as BigTIFF is still in the proposal stage. The announcement says that "Aperio has donated these enhancements to the public domain, and is working with the TIFF standards body to incorporate them into a future standard release."
As a demonstration, Aperio has created what it claims is "the world's first terapixel image." Compressed, it's a mere 143 gigabytes, and the inspiring image which they chose for the occasion is a breast cancer slide replicated 225 times. It might take a while to download.
