photoshop .psb not supported? RRS feed

  • 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 Sad  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?

  • Thank you Matt, I have down loaded the GigaTiler.
