KB article on Large Tiff Images

A question came up in the forums today about how to view a Tiff image that is too large to be opened by DotImage.  It is possible to do this because we have a ReadRegion method that will decode only a portion of the image data.  I wrote some sample code that shows how to do this.

Basically we can decode the image one section at a time, resample that section, then move on to the next section.  When we finish with the image, the final size is easily handled by DotImage.

The issue of large image support is always being talked about, and we can only hope that it actually gets added one day ...
