re: Windows Photo Gallery Won't Open Large Files Friday, June 26, 2009 at 12:38 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Larry Lecuyer (1 messages posted) Jason: I am also experiencing apparent limitations with Photo Gallery in Vista Home Premium. I have a photo scanned in TIFF with a size of 2.5 Gigabytes! I cannot open the photo and I also receive the same message you have posted. What is the size limitation of photo's in Photo Gallery?
