You can change the maximum image size to be greater than the default 4096x4096.

Check out pages 130-132 in the Shake manual. You'll need to create a text file
with new preferences for Viewer size, cache size, and RAM. The text could be like this:

gui.viewer.maxWidth = 7000;
gui.viewer.maxHeight = 6000;
diskCache.cacheMaxFileSize = 7000 6000*42;
diskCache.cacheSize = 1024;
cache.cacheMemory = 200;
diskCache.cacheMemory = 100;

The above text goes into a plain text file that you name something like bigpix.h
and put here:

~/nreal/include/startup/

For a better explanation, read the Shake manual, pages 355-358
