I seem to have run into a limitation. When stitching panoramas or stacking for HDR if I use the full resolution file sizes I am limited to how many original photos I can use when the number of files adds up to more than 2gb. It gets even worse when I exceed 4gb as the software won't even allow a save.
The latest round was stitching a 14 shot panorama. The resulting file is just under 4gb. PS will only allow me to save in *.psb, *raw (Photoshop RAW, not Pentax RAW) or *tiff. I usually save the final image as *.jpeg, and then reduce the resolution just enough to post on Flickr, but when the image is over 2gb PS won't allow saving to *.jpeg.
What I have been doing is reducing the resolution of the *.tiff until PS will allow a save to *.jpeg, but what a pain. Additionally I can't seem to find the image size maximum that allows the file to be saved as *.jpeg.
Perhaps I am missing something.
What do you folks do when processing large files?
What do people do when building the large panoramas made with dozens or even hundreds of images?
