Allowing the files to be saved as a .tiff in 64 bit vs the certified standard 32 bit would be an extremely bad and horrific decision.
It'd be like if Shell formulated a new gas that only 1% of internal combustion engines can use but put it on the market as Regular Unleaded.
There are agreed to standards that the industry complies with for a reason.

Yea, I understand standards. Good idea, however if they would let me “play outside the box” I would love it. As it is, I have to cut the giant mosaic into 25 or more pieces, tweak every piece one at a time, reassemble it using the world file made when I cut it up, then make a new giant mosaic in a standard format. Not many if any clients want a 50 gig tif file. So I make a Mr Sid or Jpeg2000 file to send via FTP.
The files I used to make the final product get deleted, as they are not needed anymore. And Photoshop will not read the JPG2000 file made by mapping programs.
