Could someone with a powerful computer, a fast internet connection and photoshop give me a hand?

Well OdiN just tried and got a not enough RAM message... anyone with more than 2gb willing to try?

Why don't you resize the pictures a bit? Do they really need to be huge?

I think he needs to print it and wind up with something that's like 20 feet across, so yeah.

Oh wow, put that thing to work!

Yup... though actually the final image will be 75'3" x 17'2"

The images are here:

It'll probably give you an error if you go to the page, but if you save the file it download fine. (Apparently firefox doesn't like 100+ mb images )

1.2 billion pics is going to kill most machines with less then 4GB of ram...

That's a big file...

 

[morkus64]

I'm thinking that the trouble might be that photoshop changes everything to .psd files on open, which inflates the size a lot... maybe a different program might work better. I tried Ulead 360, but it couldn't handle the filesize. Does anyone have any other programs that have a photomerge-like tool?

 

[OdiN]

I have autopano-sift, enblend and hugin w/ panotools but I have never used them and dunno if they would work without more RAM either.

I'm having trouble downloading it. The transfer stopped somewhere around 50MB. Now I'm downloading it again but it's only transferring at 45KBps.

 

[OdiN]

I tried to load these images into hugin - it just crashed when trying to load the image. I'm thinking because they are not standard RGB format so I'm going to try converting.

Also the reason firefox won't open them is because the JPG is not RGB format.

Yeah or just plain helping a guy out? Geez.

Thanks OdiN

Probably. I'm guessing that this operation will need 4GB at least.

it might... i think the ram is the most important piece of the puzzle

We normally use it to duplicate a customers OLTP enviroment to test DR solutions.

Well Hugin still crashed with the pictures in RGB format. They are probably too large for that program.

I'm fresh out of options.

maybe swtethan could give it a shot with his 4gb?

He probably would if I gave him some pie.

Then fire up that thing's BLP and enable DTTR! You should be able to RPS the DMBS before lunch!

1.2 gigapixels makes this a software problem rather than a hardware problem.
