View .tif in full resolution

Hi! How can I view or download this tif file in full resolution? There must be a direct URL to the tif file... --109.42.241.212 (talk) 13:31, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be stored as tiles: for instance here is the top-left tile. The "0/0" represents the y and x coordinates of the tile respectively, and you can change them to see the other tiles, though I wouldn't recommend this as a way of enjoying the picture. I'm not sure if these tiles comprise a tiff file. Jpeg compression and tiles are both mentioned in the TIFF article, so it's possible, but it's also possible that there is no tiff except in some offline archive somewhere, the name of the page being based on the name of the original file. If you just want to see it close up you can of course press the zoom-in button. If you want to zoom to exactly 1:1, type ?scale=1 at the end of the URL. You can also produce a "printable" version via the pdf icon, which can be downloaded, but this has jpeg artefacts which aren't in the online version. The system they're using is MyCoRe.

Wait! here's the ~~full~~ image. (Found by reading the documentation.) Doesn't seem like full resolution when compared to the tiles, though.

In fact here's the metadata, which says the original resolution is 2226 by 3500. Card Zero (talk) 11:41, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thank you!! :) —2A00:20:B044:1BE:5D49:2E7A:9286:205A (talk) 10:12, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For those interested in playing with tiled images, and in honor of Nil Einne's mention of xkcd in the question below, see https://xkcd.com/1110/ . (A fun exercise — for some definition of "fun" — is to download and assemble the ~2592 distinct tiles into one monster image, then crash your local image browser trying to display it all at once.) —scs (talk) 22:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
