We kept getting support requests from users who tried to load
in 5 1km vis images at full resolution and would blow memory.
So, we decided to limit the default to 1000x1000.  If you 
click the little lock next to the line and element boxes
to unlock this, you can change the resolution with the
magnification sliders.  Or, you can type in the size you
want.

Got it.  I can't read these in though.  Do you have a plugin with
a datasource that handles these files or do they go through an
ADDE server?
