how to split image into multiple pices and join them as requested by user
<p>I am trying to load a large image <strong>( size > 80 MB)</strong> into web page. User doesn't really need to see the whole image at once and only need to see the requested portion. </p>

<p>The dimensions of the image are approx <strong>10k x 10k</strong>.</p>

<p>I looked around a little bit but couldn't found a reasonable solution to the problem.</p>

<p>I would like to split the image into some amount of pieces as needed (for ex 9 pieces, 3k x 3k each) and load them into the page as user request or moves into next section of the image (ex. if user crosses <strong>3k x 3k</strong> boundary, server will send side or bottom piece as needed). </p>

<p>I did found ways how to split image but couldn't find a way to do that dynamically and sew them together dynamically.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>I tried using <strong>Microsoft Deep Zoom Composer</strong> but it didn't work. I think it does not support such large image size. I came to that conclusion as I tried the same image in <strong>Microsoft PhotoSynth</strong> and got an error message that it only supports files up to <strong>32MB</strong>. <strong>Deep Zoom Composer</strong> and <strong>Photo Synth</strong> use same file format so I think they might have same file size constraints.</p>

<p>Deep zoom Composer didn't produced meaningful error message as the error message was, <strong>file format is not right</strong>, but file is in right format (i.e. jpg).
Thanks</p>
