  • Dowlin Forge Park panorama 01

    Dowlin Forge Park panorama 01

    This shot was done by combining (28) images, and a little stitching together in Photoshop…

    This was the file that I was talking about the other day… That 10.6+ GB job…

    Well, after more play, including Zoomify, here it is!! <<<

    Be sure to use the Controls at the bottom to Zoom in an Move around!!

    Full Screen is even better!

  • Drawdown with Snow – Chambers Lake

    I was driving along Chamber Lake in Hibernia Park yesterday, and I had to stop for the view of the drawdown with snow.

    This is a small (3635×1000) panoramic view, of 9 images ‘stitched’ together, looking toward the dam.

    I was standing knee-deep in snow, and for the locals, there is a good 5-8 feet of water missing because of the drawdown.

    You can also see maintenance trucks working on the dam itself.

  • Panorama of Kerr Park Post Hurricane Irene

    I finally finished this MONSTER!

    As I blogged before, this image is composed of 42 images stitched together in Photoshop CS5, and then some Tone Mapping.

    NOTE – By Clicking on the Image Twice (2 Times) you can see the FULL image!

    At one point, this file was 3.7GBs in size!

    But I have been able to get it down to a little over 7MBs as a JPEG file.

    It has been interesting to see which sites are having problems with the size…

     

    Sites having issues with the FULL size image – 11336×1000 (157.4″x13.8″)

    Sites NOT having issues with the FULL size image – 11336×1000 (157.4″x13.8″)

    Hope you enjoy!

  • Large Image Files – PSB vs TIFF

    In this post, I am going to explore some basic differences between the various Photoshop file formats: PSD, TIFF and PSB

    I’m working on a very large image, and it is a panorama of (42) 10 MP captures, each between 8-10 MBs, merged into Photoshop CS5.1.

    Photoshop CS 5.1 can not save anything over 2.0 GBs as a PSD file…

    Photoshop CS 5.1 - 2 GB File Size error message
    Photoshop CS 5.1 – 2 GB File Size error message

    The TIFF file is 3.7 GBs…

    File Properties - TIFF
    File Properties – TIFF

    and the PSB file is 2.7 GBs…

    File Properties - PSB
    File Properties – PSB

    Open Questions

    In this example above, there is approximately 1 GB (25%) loss in file size…

    Where did it go?

    • File compress?
    • Color Data?
    • File Optimization?

    Findings

    • Photoshop PSD (max) file size: 2 GBs
    • Photoshop PSB (max) file size: 4 exabytes (300,000 x 300,000 pixels – 350 x 350 feet)
    • TIFF (max) file size: 4 GBs

    Observations

    • Lightroom is not “seeing” my 2.7 GB PSB file, but is “seeing” the 3.7 GB TIFF.

    References

    anyone got any ideas?

  • Exton Square Mall Carnival Panorama 01

    I finally got time to stitch these panoramic together, and I am actually surprised at how well it came out, considering that it was hand-held in a moving Ferris Wheel!

    I have also gotten a chance to post my entry for that Mother’s Day event with the family.

    This is a VERY LARGE IMAGE (6000 px x 4500 px)!
