Hi,
I want to use ImageMAgick tools to cut large (really large!) images into pieces.
This is intend to cut an image into stripes for a wallpaper.
The image size will be around 500.000 x 1.000.000 pixel.
Let's say I have a server with 32GByte of ram an plenty of time,
can I use the crop command to do this job?
And can I also use the other ImageMagick commands to add Labels and compose
the stripes with a header?
I know the commands, but will it work with images larger then the main memory?

Are there any limitations in size or mem usage for the command line tools?

Greetings
Roland

I don't know all the answers. So the IM developers will need to respond. But see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#massive

See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/archi ... tera-pixel.

Thanks, this is what I wanted to know.
9 exa pixels on a 64bit system and the sky (ok, the system Ram) is the limit...
Great!
