I am churning through some disk space.
The giant file needs some tweaking in Photoshop. Mostly get the density or how bright or dark and then a slight tweak in color. Photoshop can't even begin to handle the big mama looka giant files. I have to cut the file into 4 pieces saved as a tiff file with LZW compression to get the pieces under 4 GB limit for Photoshop. Then I tweak on those and bring it back into a mapping program that does not blink at large files. The regenerate a new mosaic and see what that looks like. If I see some small additional tweaking that has to go back to Photoshop in pieces.
Right now there are 70 GB of files. Once it is all finished and I can deliver the mosaic, I can delete a ton of stuff. It takes the mapping program almost 45 minutes to make the final geo-referenced mosaic file.
It is just so amazing to me since I remember working with computers with RAM measured in Kilobytes and hard drives measured in Megabytes. My first HUGE tape backup could store 2 GB and I thought that was just fantastic huge amount.
