Thanks people who suggested the ecw compression. I'm trying it now. I got the PSP plugin too. Is there anyway I can append bitmaps to the ecw image one-by-one? Problem is - The free ecw compressor only supports 24-bit bitmaps, so if I've got 1,000,000 500x500 pixel tiles that's going to be 733k x 1,000,000 which is a 733Gb image!!!! I don't have that kind of storage. At present I use RLE bitmaps and is compresses to about 20GB - far more manageable.

Nowadays we use ecw format to open huge files. You can compress images to ecw and open them as seamless very fast. Ecw compressor available up to 500 mb file as free. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 4:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Large raster maps Hi List, This goes back to a question I asked before, but just want to clear a few things up. I have loads of raster data (20GB). Can MapInfo handle a 20GB raster image? If not, could it handle, say, 40 500Mb files? I'm still trying to find out some information about efficient methods of using lots of raster data with MapInfo.
