Sup guys. I'm wondering if there's a way of going around that 300,000x300,000 pixels limit? I have been trying and eventually I gave up so I had to work with that 300k x 300k.

Thanks in advance

What are you going to use the large image for, i.e. why do you need such a large image?

Ged u're right. And Derek, it's for my own personal project which involves combining several 51,200x28,800p images into one massive image. So, is there any way to create such a huge image...? If not in Photoshop, there must be some software that can handle that...

You could assemble the pieces with InDesign. InDesign has a 212" limit so—assuming you have a printer driver capable of handling the file size—you would have to assemble within the 212" limit and output at the percentage needed for the final print size.

You could place 1000" of 300ppi images, scale down to 21.2% (a 1415 ppi effective resolution), and output at 470%, where the scaled output resolution would be back to 300ppi.

Try saving as a PSB format.

Derek, I could be wrong but I think the OP wants to create a document larger than the max size Photoshop permits
