The final stitched file is 36.663" x 9.056" at 1600dpi (67.89' x 16.77' at 72dpi). It's smaller than what you posted above, did you account for the overlaps in that calculation? The file is a 602mb TIFF (Can't save to JPEG at this size/resolution).

My upload cap is pretty low, still have 3 hours to go :(

I actually completed it to... on my celeron LAPTOP.

You just can't do much at one time and have to give PS time to work. You make a move, take about 5-10 minutes to let it do its thing, and then do some more. Saving it took about 20 minutes, but that's because the file size for me was a couple GB.

this is the train of thought you all should be on.

I was thinking in terms of inDesign, but it would be a little bit harder to line up the pictures, since they overlap a little.

Thanks rootaxs, got the picture, everything is perfect! I've removed the original files... final bandwidth was not actually too bad - you guys only used up 9GB
