One of those huge NASA jpegs. It was around 600mb of some nebula. We printed it to scale on our giant inkjet printer and it was about 4' x 8'.

Many years ago, on these very forums, someone posted a picture of the world (in TIFF) at about 500 MB... I remember downloading it over a day or so...

I do, it's about 50 million pixels in height and width.

If someone beats me, I've resized it to 500 million pixels in both directions.

I got some of those insanely high res NASA space pictures, but nothing else of high res.

The largest I could find on short notice:

30000 x 4048 = 121,440,000 - color image of a section of the region where Mars Rover Opportunity landed. The rover is visible there, just a few pixels wide. They get 25cm/pixel out of MRO. Here's a crop of it. And their online viewer

25,105 x 34530 = 866,875,650

29787 x 58004 = 1,727,765,148


All are from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The latter one doesn't open with very many programs, and 1GB of free memory isn't enough for it. It's a 690MB Jpeg-2000 file. Why they decided to use Jpeg-2000 for these images, I do not know. Irfanview and GIMP can't seem to handle the larger JP2 images - not enough memory. Well heck, I've only got 2GB, what more does it want? I don't know why they don't just use the swapfile, either.

Yea, I was in Rajasthan, India as well, but only had a 2MP camera :( I would love to see you image! I just did a traditional collage of my India experiences.

My largest pic is probably one of the Blue Marbles from NASA. I have done some collages in Photoshop that get ~300MB and larger...with like 75+ layers

You can at least resave the PNG file as a JPG, and save a little bandwidth. :)

I hit around 450 MB (8800 x 8800) on 6x6 scanned at 4000 DPI in 16 bits. That's just medium format. You could get really crazy numbers with large format.

Like many others in this topic, those insanely large several hundred MB TIFFs from NASA.

I'll see if i can find it. I've have like six computers since then. I hope that i still have the original digital file. I think only the hard copy now survives, which was printed at 24x36.
