Maximum image size

[Graphicalman]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know the maximum image size in pixels that this software will load?
Thank you in advance for your replies, Graphicalman.

65000 x 65000 if I remember correctly. The second limitation is the amount of RAM available.

Thank you Sebastian,
My reason for checking the maximum size is that I have tried to load three bracketed exposures 25906 x 8743 and the software crashes while tone mapping the image.
Obviously I am exceeding the maximum size of image that this software can handle which is a great shame as the results I have achieved on smaller images are exceedingly good.
Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated, Graphicalman.

You have read wrong. The maximum size is 65000, not 6500. Now I have processed a panorama 26000 x 9000 from 7 exposures. SNS-HDR Pro used 12GB RAM and worked well.

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your comment - I have discovered the reason for crashing on large images: In the preferences it gives you the option to move the scratch folder which I did as I have an SSD that is dedicated as a scratch disc for all my software, as soon as I restored the location to default everything starting working correctly.
I have just produced several panoramic images, each to a size of 34607 x 8480 pixels from 10 bracketed images (30 files) and I am very impressed with the results.
Thank you for your help, Graphicalman.
