I was just searching for other people go into very big size Photoshop documents and meeting the limits. Just saving here a 30 meter by 2,5 meter banner at 150 ppi. Just 15 Gigabyte, not so big, but Photoshop CS5 is extremely slow in handling it. A week ago I delivered 30 meters long 1,2 meter high mural for a school in Hong Kong for printing in High pressure Laminate. My experience is that only brute computer force makes creating in a loose way very big files possible. My G5 is 5 years old and 14 GB of memory is not enough. Waiting for hours here to do simple things like making in between safety copies.I am thinking about starting a blog meeting point for exchange of technical experience... for large digital works. Thank you for putting your experience on-line
