Image Size

I think with 150MP I might be pushing the limits of my hardware capability.... From my image size in pixels the window image is around the equivalent of 33MP which Photoshop tells me will print at magazine quality as 41,29cm by 57,45cm. So area is around 2300cm^2. Scaling that up to 150MP (multiplying area by 5 lets say if my maths if right) then that gives you a poster around 12000cm^2 or around a meter by a meter poster. (Oh man - I'm setting myself up for a big 'you're wrong' on this as it's late and my brain has stopped doing any useful work - including basic maths).

My stitched pano for this came out as a 130MB TIF. I stitched it three times for this for different exposures which exist on different layers in my Photoshop file. Consequently my Photoshop file for this is 435MB. I know Photoshop has a working limit of 2GB for a single file although I have heard that there's such a thing as a 'Photoshop big' file (maybe .psb?) which you can use for images that are larger but I don't know enough about it to be able to tell you properly what it is and what it entails.

So....

At the end of all this boring maths I think that a 150MP file would probably be outside my hardware and software limits at this time..... :-)
