Hey Mark,
Thanks for the follow-up. I figured you might have some insight. I too had thought of putting together a script as well to "trim" the borders.
Have you run your large images renderings distributed over multiple machines? How has this worked for you?

Jack,
I have only done images up to 28800x28800 (3 GB file), and always by using rpiece or the method that you suggest. Unfortunately, I have always done pfilt on the whole image, so I have no experience with pfilting beforehand.
I can imagine that you could cobble together a script that would read data from the adjacent images and attach a thin border around each piece, allowing you to pfilt first. Then you could trim the extra border off and assemble the full image later.
You've probably thought of this, though.

Hi all,
What wisdom do people have about generating absurdely (IMHO) large images (for example 22,000 x 22,000 at 3 times over sample, eg running at 76,000 x 76,000). The best thing that I can think of is to render the images as a seriese of sub views (tiles) with appropriate shift and lifts so the final image can be composed from the sub pieces. If the tiles are all pfilted (using the same exposure settings) to their final size prior to composing the final image will there be problems at the tile edges?
Thanks for any input/guidance,
