I need to edit an image that is 90,000 pixels wide (10 GB). I think Photochop is limited to 30,000 pixels. Are there any programs that can handle this??

Correction Photochop can go up to 300,000 but will it open a 10GB image???

Photoshop CS or CS2 should open it just fine. I know some guys that were stitching together an image that was something like 200k x 100k and photoshop CS could open it.

Photoshop has a new large document file format called "PSB" (you have to enable it through the "file handling" preferences). It's only in CS+CS2 though. According to the docs it supports images up to 300k x 300k.

I'm looking into this but we're having some problems expanding the image from it's "bin" archive.. why bin???.. I'll never know.

Make sure your expanding it on a drive with a filesystem that can support 10gb images. FAT32 and HFS only support 4 gig files. So make sure your using either HFS+(mac) or NTFS(windows).
