I just checked and it is 206.5 mega pickles.
Sheesh!
The detail of the image is awesome. I used a Sigma 135mm Pantel lens on my K5IIs to make the photos for the panorama, and it has very good sharpness across the frame. Multiplied over the 14 shots and as I pixel peep it I am amazed at the level of detail and sharpness. The final image required very little in the way of PP, levels, contrast, color correction.
Still, I'm afraid I may have to reduce the original file some to put in in Dropbox, as I have a 2.5gb limit, and at 2.69gb the file is a bit too large. After trying repeatedly to upload the file I checked, and the account is basic, with a fairly small storage maximum. Since I had some other stuff there I deleted everything, and am going to try once more.
One more note.
This was only an experiment to see if the new computer I built could handle the processing, and it has done very well. Still, I only did one row of photos, and would like to go back and shoot the same scene with a double, or even triple row of images to make the pano with.
A double row will net an image over 400 mega pickles and 5.4gb, a triple row will be around 600mp and around 8gb file size.
I may have to start buying time on a government super computer or something.
