Asked by:
photoshop .psb not supported?

Question
-
According to HDmake's command line options: -src image.{tif|png|jpg|wdp|bmp}
only 5 formats are supported.
Why not .psb?
What should I choose if my image larger than 30,000x30,000 pixles?
According to the capacity of PTgui:
The maximum output size in PTGui depends on the file format:
- JPEG: max 25,000 x 25,000 pixels
- TIFF: unlimited dimensions, but the TIFF specifications allow a maximum file size of 4GB. Certain applications (including Photoshop CS2) fail to read TIFF files larger than 2GB. Older Photoshop versions cannot read images wider or taller than 30,000 pixels.
- Photoshop .psd: max 30,000 x 30,000 pixels and a maximum file size of 4GB (Photoshop CS2) or 2GB (Photoshop CS)
- Photoshop .psb: max 300,000 x 300,000 pixels, no file size limitations

I'd love to support psb. Unfortunately the terms of use on Adobe's file format SDKs require Microsoft and Adobe lawyers to have a conversation. Which, sigh, takes a long time
We almost have an agreement worked out to allow us to produce a Photoshop plugin for HD View export. This will be one path to psb -> HD View conversion. In the meatime you can try tiffs larger than 30K wide, I have gotten this to work, up to the 4GB limit. Also thanks to the team at Autopano there is another tool to generate HD View tiles: http://en.wiki.autopano.net/GigaTiler, that does take psb as an input.

Is there any documentation on the use of the output of GigaTiler with HD View? That is, can GigaTiler produce the XML mainfest HDview requires?Thursday, August 9, 2007 1:44 PM
