The truly annoying thing is Photoshop will indeed load and display the 40 GB tif file, and it would let me edit and do whatever, it just ain't gonna save it in any format except the proprietary "large file" formats that no mapping program uses. It just refuses to save it in any format that I can use. And the Photoshop version of JPG2000 is something totally goofy and not gonna work in mapping programs. It will not open of save the JPG2000 files from real mapping programs.

Its like Adobe is up to the same old tricks, yea we can do that, but we don't want to make it impossible for someone running Photoshop 5 on their MAC OS 7.6 to be excluded from opening it. I don't care one iota what standard of tif file it violates. Tif file or JPEG files that are 40 GB are not uncommon in the world of mapping.

It is just so close, yet the programmers put in a file size limit and no option to say ignore that file size limit. I think they are taunting me.
