    Possibly a bizarre one, but..

    http://www.yosemite-17-gigapixels.com/

    I want to grab that, as an image. Yes, I am willing to lose the best part of 100gb to a single image, because damnit, I need it.

    Anyone got any clues as to where there might be a copy? His is, rather annoyingly, broken down into hundreds and hundreds of .wdp files per zoom level >.>

    That is a serious pixel count. Google images has lots of gigapixel pointers

    That'll keep the one hour photo machine running:jawdrop:

    If you can get the urls for the .wdp files you can probably work out a regular expression and make a script to download all of them. Of course you'd have to stitch them together again...

    I did look at that, but the folders change names under different directories. It's split into several main catagories, then several sub cats, then possibly several more, then several wdp files that share the same titles as the rest that share the same organisation but in different parent categories. I also can't tell which are for Silverlight and which are for zoomify.

    I'm half tempted to just max-zoom and prt-screen my way through the entire image, crop and stitch.

    Approximately 28,118 (assuming the display on your Eee PC is 1024*600).

    I assume they've not made a single compiled image available is because there's no point. The time it would take to render it on your screen would be huge (who has 100GB of RAM?). And what would you do with the single image that you couldn't do on the site with the zoom funtion?

    There's not much I could do with the single image that I can't do with the site, I simply want the biggest images I can get >.>

    I'm looking forward to the Paris 20 Gigapixel project being stitched. Apparently that took a year to shoot!

    I'm not sure there are enough pornstars in the world to fill a picture that size, without getting naassssty closeups on their celulite etc.

    I'm not even sure I'd want to see it..

    Edit:

    More of the same, equally pretty.

    Looks like a gigapan image. In fact why not use gigapan? I mean it handles it really well and displays it really well. Printing/displaying it is a whole other animal.

    EDIT:
    Oh it is using some sort of flash based navi... nevermind. :D
