Thank you Rob, Dan, Ann, Subash and everybody else for looking and commenting!
(and to Subash for helping Ann finding the link in my lengthy message.)

Rob, to answer your question:
I used PS for stitching.
It was based on 13 individual shots (unless I skipped some intermediate ones in the process - due to an excessive overlap). I could save a tiff with 32765 on a side, but had to reduce the pixel count to about 16000 for the largest jpeg (not shown here). Now, I wonder if something like 64000x8000px could have worked for the TIFF.

In any case, I have no need for those huge pixel numbers - as I am not printing that pano... The question was purely "academic".
Thinking of which, - it could be cool to have a photo wall paper. :-)
I just need a large enough wall and wallet to cover...
:-)))


Thanks for sharing the pointer to Gigapan.
And your image there is great!
As an aside, the navigation and search there are broken.
E.g. searching for your name doesn't bring your profile or this photo.
And, I cannot get to your panorama from your profile page.


Cheers,

Igor

Nice work Igor, what software did you use to stitch the images? I know
that LR, though quite capable and by far the best option to assemble
RAW image files, does currently have a maximum pixel dimension
(vertically or horizontally) of around 65000px and a maximum overall
size of 500Mpx total therefore limiting the max image size to around
64000x8000px.


I did see that original post re-hosting panoramic images but forgot to
reply. It is difficult to display them in a meaningful way on-line,
the most practical option I found was the Gigapan site. It's a little
long in the tooth, clunky and seems to be fairly niche these days but
it does still work, I put four images up about 5 years back and they
still appear to be accessible.

I did this back in August of 2020, but than I was struggling with the presentation of the panoramic photos (here is the thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg780894.html ), and I've never followed up on that.
So, I am just presenting it as is, as a huge Jpeg file.

All comments are welcome!

Hi All,

Well, I've done it, - a panoramic photo that I don't know how to present.
This is the largest ever (pixel-wise) pano, as it was the first time I couldn't save it as JPEG because of the pixel size limit for JPEG.

Somewhere online, I've found references that JPEG couldn't be larger than some 65,xxx pixels in any direction. (It is probably less than 2^16-1=65536-1 = 65535, which is 2 bytes) But that seems to be incorrect (or maybe it is an additional limitation imposed by the software?). I couldn't save as JPEG even the image that was less than 32765 px.
I was able to save as Jpeg only when I took that number down to about 16,000.


Grand Teton.

Warning: this is a 1MB file (600 px height):

And if someone is interested, here is 1000px-tall (2.3MB):
