Question Paint isn't able to process files at 108MP quality.
Hi!
I own a S21 Ultra that captures decent 108mp photos compared to my previous devices. I've never opened them on my computer before. But today I did and the paint tool won't open them. It displays an error saying 'Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file or its format is not currently supported.'
I then took the same image without the high resolution and it worked perfectly. I'm hoping to maintain the best photo quality possible. Is there any way around this issue? I searched online for a registry solution in the Windows Photo Gallery Viewer, but it seems to be specific to Windows 10 and not 11. I also found a workaround that required installing additional files via the registry, which made me hesitant due to security concerns. Thanks a lot!
Try a different application.

The mentioned Paint.net works significantly better for that task.
I rely on IView as my primary viewing tool.
Paint.net serves as my secondary editing software (following another affordable, paid option).
Sure, let me know if you'd like to hear about another affordable option. Thank you!
