A year ago in January I posted a question to c.l.j.p about a large image 
crashing javafx.scene.image.ImageView. Yesterday I happened to revisit 
the issue and discovered that between then and now something has changed 
and I am now able to display a large image (5100 x 6600 2bpp) in an 
ImageView.

Since this discovery I have been hard at work seeing what needs to be 
done to port an existing Swing application that uses and displays large 
images to JavaFX. I needed a break and came here to c.l.j.g and saw your 
post.
