    I have to ask: Are the images you posted at fullsize (e.g. your workspace size)? Because if not how on earth do you work on this w/o experiencing constant crashes in PS (I'm assuming you're using PS)? Unless you have a rig that has like 2+GB of RAM or something I'd really like to know if you're doing anything special to keep the RAM usage down because back when I was working on a 150" x 33" banner at 50 DPI I basically had to spend half my time trying to figure out ways to get Photoshop not to crash every time I opened the damn file.

    Ended up splitting it into several PSDs and merging them later on in one delicate operation, but working on seperate sections of an image and trying to get it to align/blend seamlessly really, really sucked.

    Or does PS run smooth as butter for you?

    The actual size is 3000 pixels tall x 26000 pixels wide. The computer has 1 gig of ram, and a 3.4GHz processor. The only time I have to wait is when I'm using the 999 size brush, when I accidently use the magic wand to select everything, cropping, resizing, and saving. But I've only had an error once, so now I just save before going to surf the net.

    Also: Nobody's mentioned the Scooby-Doo reference, I guess it might be difficult to see without animation.

    Are you using PS CS2? My workspace was around twice the size of your document, and my old PC also had a gig of RAM...but a 2.4 P4. I don't think processor speed should contribute to crashing though =\ Even then after I had split the file into 2 PSDs it still took a hell of a long time just to open the damn document (>3 minutes). And saving would always fail because there 'isn't enough memory to complete the operation'.

    I'm assuming that every character you do here is on a seperate layer too? If so you'd have around the same no. of layers I did as well. Maybe it was the photos I had to import and place around the damn banner design as well...but argh for all I know it could have been the fact that I usually kept alternating between PS and Illustrator.

    My god I don't know how I bothered working on that banner for over a month.

    Every character on a different layer? No no, that'd be silly. I have about 5 layers right now I think. 1 for additional things that go over top of my character lines (like the greyed out parts of NotaCrook's sign board), the character lines, the colour, the background line and objects, and the flat background colour.

    I'm using an old version of Photoshop that came with my tablet, PS LE. I like it better than the other programs I've tried (GiMP, Open Canvas, etc.), and it has everything I really need (except for a line tool and a circle tool).

    Adorable sig, Marshmallow!
    Very welcome, #Pipe!
    Oh hey, I might not be updating tomorrow instead, so here's this.

    toolatepart2sbd9.th.jpg

    Unfortunately I fudged some cropping and some saving, and the copy on this computer is as long as the above. But my computer has the file with the whole length (except the new stuff), so it's all cool!

    It turns out PS won't do files above 30 000 width, so I had to split it up. Nearly 50 people in almost 30 000 pixels. I'll keep going, maybe try for 100 and stop there.
