I think thats the resolution needed to be able to edit the file
without loosing much quality and still print at say... 45x45
inches...
I'm trying to retain as much quality as I can so I'm able to do big prints.

I don't think the file is really large for this type of work.
I also just bought this laptop recently and upgrade the CPU to p9700
which has the best performance for battery life before the
T9800/T9900 and X series which consumes more battery life.

I think only the new I7s will make much of a difference and that
will require me to buy another new machine.


I guess gimp works great for web work but not for large print, at
the moment...

That's freaking enormous, regardless of what platform you're using.

What is enormous? Are you saying the resolution on the file is unnecessary even for something like a 60x60 canvas print?
