Hello. Anyone know where I can get 1024x1024 or larger images of Lena
(color or grayscale)? I've searched the Net and only found 512x512 as
the largest. Cheers.

It was a donation for our library.

I can scan Lena for you. It takes about 1 day.

here you can find a bigger lena-image ...
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/lenna.shtml

1084x2318 in jpeg ... but the well-known part of
it is still only 512x512 pixels large


bye,
Michael

How lucky you are! I guess you have every single issue? ;)

I would greatly appreciate if you could do scan it for me. Well, also
for everyone else who might want it or I should say for the community.
:) I would like the "well-known part" of it and not the whole page to
be 1024x1024. If you would be kind enought to do scan for 2048x2048
and 4096x4096 as well that would be great (Hope I'm not asking too
much). Thank you very much in advance. Cheers.

I scanned it with 300dpi, about 14MB, bzip2, 2372x3158Pixel.
Here it is: http://www.vermtech.de/img007.bz2

If you need am other part with a higher resolution let me know. I do not
know which is the "well-known"-part.

Thank you very much. I've downloaded it but none of my image
applications could open it. I used bzip -d img007.bz2 before I renamed
the output img007 to img007.tif according to the header of the file.
I've tried Paint Shop Pro 7, GIMP 1.2.4, MS Paint Brush on my Windows
2000 none of them could open the file. All gave the error "Unknown
format" (but they could open other TIFF files). Here is the md5sum of
the file: 331d8a3ddc5b0cd30a8433573ee3271b *img007.tif if you want to
compare with your original one's.

Only the well-known part is what I would like to have. Please see
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/ for the well-known part. The
page has 256x256 and link to 512x512 image. According to that page,
when the well-known part was made: "The Muirhead had a fixed
resolution of 100 lines per inch and the engineers wanted a 512 x 512
image, so they limited the scan to the top 5.12 inches of the picture,
effectively cropping it at the subject's shoulders.". If the area is
really 5.12"x5.12" I suppose 200dpi is the resolution for 1024x1024
image and 800dpi (if you could) is for 4096x4096 image. Please leave
small border area and I'll do the crop myself as I need the exact
image as the well-known one like the one from the page (I'm talking
pixels at the border). Thank you very much in advance. Cheers.

the image was tared ... use
tar -xf [filename]
to get the tiff out of the bunzip2ed file ...

I would say a printed image does not have that high resolution ...
you should first look at the scanned image and then forget about
you "high-resolution lena"-idea ...

Michael
