   Normally, when I load a large image into Edge, it shows me it zoomed out   
   until it fits the window (see recent discussion - I think it was in this   
   'group - involving a picture of lots of people making the Deutsche   
   Grüße, with one person not). The above image doesn't - and even zooming   
   out to the lowest I can - 25% - doesn't let me see all of it!
