Re: [Gimp-user] tips on working with gigantic files?

[Casey Connor <gimp-user-list caseyconnor org>]

Hey, just wanted to follow up on the gigapixel editing...

I tried the overcommit_memory thing, clearing undo history, making a big 
swap, changing tile size, etc. Nothing seemed to help with my particular 
image on my particular system, but I appreciate the tips. Guess I just 
need a lot more memory. :-)

I wasn't able to do any editing or adjustment on the image, since most 
tools would crash out the program, but I was able to stitch it all 
together in a mostly satisfying way by piecing it out and using montage. 
I then put it online using OpenSeadragon.

I think for now I will not work with such large images. It's just too 
painful. :-) But it's nice to have some tools to work with medium size 
stuff.

Thanks for the help!
