I am not sure I agree. I guess your monthly payment is less, but for a longer period. I have heard many people mortgage the house to buy a car or do a home improvements. I just know I could never get my wife to agree to use the house to pay for anything.

The file finally finished the first big step. As an uncompressed tiff file it is 6.8 Gig or 7,025,138,760 bytes. If we made an really really really big print that was "life size" so that the major section line roads were one mile apart like they are in the real world the cars and houses would be the same size. We could take that print to a flat field (Kansas) with no trees or buildings and lay in on the ground it would replicate the area we flew. If you walked around on the print each pixel would cover .3344 feet or 4.01 inches. That is why we call it a 4 inch pixel image. We can "zoom in" with the mapping software to a single pixel and have it fill the screen and measure that pixel. Of course it is just a square with just one color. Once we pull back and it combines with the pixels around it, it becomes an image.

It is too big to open in Photoshop. Too many pixels. If I want to do any Photoshop work I have to cut it up into pieces and then put it back together.
