A method of displaying a digital image having a high aspect ratio on a user interface screen connected to a control unit of a printing system includes the steps of determining a first part of the digital image, which part includes one end of the digital image in a longitudinal direction; determining a second part of the digital image, which part includes the other end of the digital image in the longitudinal direction; displaying the first part and the second part simultaneously on the user interface screen; and further displaying the remaining part of the digital image in a suppressed manner or a compressed manner in-between the first part and the second part at the user interface screen. A printing system includes a control unit, which includes a memory unit for storing a digital image, and a user interface screen for displaying the digital image, the control unit being configured to execute the method.
