In the Art World, the harder way is always appreciated more than the easy way. It takes a whole lot more skill to do this in Photoshop then it would in Maya/Max/Other 3D program. I worked for an Airbrush artist(Carl Chaplin) back in the 80's and his Artwork was fantastically good, but he was never taken very seriously because others were able to do similar work with actual paint brushes. Art isn't only about the final result, it's also the skill and work put into the result that weighs into how Good it is.

Some have said "big deal, it's just a bunch of (X)". Any work of Art is just a bunch of (X), even a good Photograph is just a bunch of (X)(pixels for Digital for eg). That's missing the point though, because all those X's need to be done and they need to be done properly. If it was easy we'd all be Artistic geniouses, but only a few are.

so you don't consider photography an art? He simply makes photos using photoshop ;-)

Photography and photos come from a camera.

When they are digital, they are images.

The word photography and photo stem from the term "photosensitive" which is where light affects an object. Adjusting pixels on a screen is data-driven and is not a matter of light affecting the file.

im sure anyone working on something like that every night makes a dvd backup of the file. I know I would, too much invested to test your luck.
that said, i too want the flattened image, uncompressed and full glory, as to make a poster out of it. That would be too damned awesome.

He sells prints for roughly $2000, so I doubt he's going to give you his file.

pwnt

What if he forgot to back that up :Q 😛

I'm going to go against what most people think here.
There's nothing aesthetically appealing about that image, which is what art is supposed to be about.
Listing large numbers does not suddenly make a piece of art good.

do you not like photography? he is aiming to create an image that looks like a panoramic photograph. such photographs, in particular one that looks like what he made, would easily sell for what he wants for prints of that image, likely much more.

just like a scene u see in everyday life, you don't look at it like its anything, but in a photograph can be worth something. thats the kind of photography i want to aim toward.
