Dimension too large for one image

Thx for your help

Your image is probably too large, you should reduce with some external tool. See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/257153/dimension-too-large-error-from-pdflatex-when-using-includegraphics — Ulrike Fischer, May 05 '17 at 08:33
My image is 700x600 px. I if y try with another one, i dont have the error. — Warok, May 05 '17 at 08:38
@Warok This is exactly the one i used(700x600 px see). It works. Try to move the image in the same folder. — Bobyandbob, May 05 '17 at 08:42
Uploaded images inserted here in the questions are not the originals graphics. You would have to put it to some upload service if someone should inspect it. Perhaps it has some faulty resolution. — Ulrike Fischer, May 05 '17 at 08:47
I tried with the image in the same folder, same error. I also tried to remove the aux file : same error... — Warok, May 05 '17 at 08:52
I cannot reproduce the problem with the image from your original image link and the example code from your question. — Schweinebacke, May 05 '17 at 09:50
Don't use imgur to upload the image. imgur changes images. Put it in a zip-file and then use a file service. — Ulrike Fischer, May 05 '17 at 10:45

Instead of

\includegraphics[width=0.95\textwidth]{images/G0004.jpg}

you should try

\includegraphics[width=\textwidth, height=0.9\textheight, 
                 keepaspectratio]{images/G0004.jpg}

Since the figure environment contains a caption but (apparently) no legend, it should suffice to set aside about 0.1\textheight to place the caption material.

Incidentally, since the float is almost certainly going to occupy an entire page, you might as well replace \begin{figure}[htbp] with \begin{figure}[p]. If nothing else, there'll be less code clutter.

That's a good suggestion, but the example image is in landscape format (W:H = 700:600) and the paper is A4 (portrait) so this should not be the problem here. – Schweinebacke May 05 '17 at 09:54
@Schweinebacke - Thanks. Let's see if the OP provides more information about the natural dimensions of the file G0004.jpg. – Mico May 05 '17 at 10:31
@Mico your method will not works for one figure: \includegraphics[width=0.0009\textwidth, height=0.0009\textheight, keepaspectratio]{./figure/figure8/ab01} – acsdaswe Oct 30 '19 at 15:39
@acsdaswe - A message such as "your method will not work" is not all that specific and hence is not actionable. What exactly isn't "working"? Is LaTeX throwing an error message? If so, what does the message say? At any rate, I'm afraid I fail to understand your intended use case: What are you trying to achieve by displaying an image whose height and width dimensions are so minuscule as to make the image virtually invisible except under exceptionally high magnification? Please elaborate. – Mico Oct 30 '19 at 16:21
