This is right, Henrik.

The image is 52703x20688: this is huge and I cannot display it on my 
computer. This image would take 52703x20688x8 bytes in memory, i.e. 
about 8 GBytes. I am not sure if R (even the 64-bit version of R) can 
handle such big objects.

> A guess: Your image dimension might be too large.  In R, matrices/arrays are stored as vectors with a dimension attribute meaning the number of elements is limited by prod(dim(x)) for an array 'x', not max(dim(x)).  Since indices are 32-bit integers in R, you may be hitting the maximum limit:
