"Within the remote sensing, and photogrammetry community the 4GB limit is becoming significant already"
This was an issue that came up in the ISO task force working on TIFF/IT-P2.
Does anybody on this list have a sense of how important the file size limit is in graphic arts applications? (I can't see anyone doing remote sensing using TIFF/IT!)
simple calculation: (order of magnitude) A0 ~ E-size is one square meter
one A0 at 400 dpi is about 250 Mpixel,
say 4 bytes per pixel (CYMK) is 1 GB uncompressed.
at 600 dpi it would become 2.3 GB
at 1200 dpi it would become 10 GB
If the area becomes larger it would scale up linear. So if the resolution/printarea becomes somewhat higher/larger the 4GB limit comes within sight for uncompressed files.
