    World's Largest indoor Photo - 40 Gigapixel

    This is a very impressive image:

    Strahov Philosophical Library, Prague

    Maybe we here on CiC need to explore record breaking images...

    Impressive. This one is just 1.1GP (and they all look very miserable). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13200114

    I must try this. Shall we have a comp to see who has the biggest?

    I like the library and I can't find Dickson. As for modern day Marie Antoinette, I'm not interested in the rich or decadent, and by the way we already got a queen and her granddad wasn't working down the pit. Now if her dad worked down the pit that would be something else.

    It is a Cameron plot to make the poor, the ill, the dying feel inadequate. To rub there noses in the difference where a slice of cake is three weeks benefits.

    Viva the republique.

    Here is the current World Record:

    Largest compound digital photograph, 272.31 gigapixels

    Described as

    The largest panoramic digital photograph is of the Shanghai skyline and weighs in at 272.31 gigapixels – 887,276 (w) x 306,908 (h) pixels to create a 1.09 TB file. It is stiched together from 12,000 shots – 150 columns and 80 rows – and was created by professional photographer Alfred Zhao (China) on 25 May 2010 with the final stitching completed on 20 Sept 2010.
    Now that would make an achievement.

    Oh - but they're so noisy when you zoom all the way in!

    Seriously, quite fun - the controls seem to work backwards though - would be nice to be able to just drag the image in the direction I wanted it to go with the mouse.

    Off memory I think my biggest compilation was a measly 96MP.
