Your labels are one order of magnitude off the actual values, Bob. Say
it with me: 1,024,000,000 BYTES is "one billion bytes" (and change,
depending on whose standard you use). Of course one billion bytes is a
gigabyte.
Same with the labeling of 1,024,000 BYTES = 1000kb = a megabyte, not a gig.

isn't it kBytes not bits? So 32,000 * 32000 Bytes (a pixel takes up one Byte in
8 bit color) which comes to 1,024,000,000 BYTES. That's 1.024 terabytes, unless
my faculties have wholly abandoned me. Of course, a black and white image is
1,024,000 BYTES, or 1.023 GIGS, but are we talking about black and white images?
That said, I am a couple strong ales in at this point, sooo...

As you correctly point out 32k x 32k comes in at 1Gb pixels - which at 24-bit
RGB comes out at 4Gb of data.
