3rd party photo editing software??
« on: September 06, 2013, 07:25:08 AM »
Hello all,

Question...  Obviously Photoscan is capable of producing orthophotos well in excess of 30k pixel dimensions when exporting at full resolution (UAV data).

My problem is that not many software packages can handle images larger than 30k pixels.  My versions of Photoshop and Paintshop Pro both won't open these files so I am limited to exporting orthos no greater than 30k if I wish to touch them up further with 3rd party software.

Does anyone know of a photo editing package that can open files larger than this?  Is there a way for Photoshop to open them??

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers!!

You can try Picture Window Pro http://dl-c.com/content/view/12/26/

I honestly don't know if it will handle images that large. There is a 64 bit version and it handles 48 bit color, so it might.

What version of Photoshop do you have?

there is a PIXEL size limitation on many formats, and mostly to 32k x 32k. for opening in Pshop you need to have 64bit version, 64 bit OS and LOT of memory ( 16 GB+ ). you need open orthoimage or TEXTURE for further editing ??

Chrisd... I have CS5 Extended V12.1.  I will try Picture Window Pro, thanks.

Wishgranter... It seems that I have the 64bit version with a 64bit OS and I have 32GB of ram.  Is there a setting in photoshop that I can change?  I am a novice at Photoshop!  I am only using it to open the ortho's to edit them; brightness, contract, add text etc.

Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.1 (12.1x20110328 [20110328.r.145 2011/03/28:10:30:00 cutoff; r branch]) x64

and what file format you trying to open ? it can be done so you generate blocks, recommend 16k x 16k and then open in Pshop. have 2 options -
1. manualy so create file acording to the ortho say 64k x 64k and place fiels there or

2. FILE-AUTOMATE-PHOTOMERGE in pshop. 

but think on that 32k is MAX for a lot of image formats, and even then its posssible to open in pshop  but not in any other app. there are hard limits....... not to mention file  size

Hi Wishgranter,

Thanks for the advice.  I am just trying to open JPG's.

I would just like to be able to give my clients the whole image in full resolution (jpg) after having adjusted the contrast and added some text etc but so far I have had to downsize them to 30x30k maximum.

It's not a big issue really, I was just wondering if anyone knew of an easy solution.  Perhaps Photoshop will consider increasing their limitations in the future, considering all this new technology allowing larger and larger image sizes??

Cheers.

there is a problem to see it mot jsut in pshop, because VIDEO RAM size 16k is prox 800MB and 32k is 3,2 GB or video ram. when not fit in mem it need swapping - speed degradation..... it could be better to use some PANOramatic sw and create tiles and see it over webpage ( it put together all tiles )

I just created a document in Photoshop CS6 Extended x64 (version 13) and it lets me use 50,000 x 50,000. It did warn me that this size is not compatible with earlier versions of Photoshop.

I recently switched to Creative Cloud and its definitely worth it. Even at the regular $50 it is still cheaper over time than paying their typical upgrade costs, and you get to use ALL the software.

Thanks for the comments.  I'll have a play around with a few options and see how I go.
