Comment 1 for bug 1247587

I can't reproduce the issue with my images. I can load my images without problem with the 64 bit version on Window 7. So there must be something "special" with your images

What images do you use? TIFF or jpeg? From which source? Edited with software?
Can you provide a link to a sample image, so I could try if I can reproduce the crash.

PS: We don't do the beta/release candidate cycle for fun. It takes some time to handle that cycle. So we encourage users to report bugs before the final version is released. Now after the release we can't fix the issue so fast and you have to wait for the next release.
