Hello !
Few months ago i made a big panorama (nearly 15 photos at 10 millions pixels) with photoshop. Usually i don't have problem saving my panoramas in psd format, but this one was so big (>300mo) that photoshop told me to save it as a .raw file (not the raw files you can get with your camera).
Now when i try to open my raw file with photoshop, it results in a grey image with the different layers of my panorama overlaid....
Here is what my panorama should look like (low resolution jpg) :

What format did you shoot the original in? RAW, JPEG etc.. Also, when you open the files do they open in PS RAW or just normal Photoshop?
I am a little bemused as .psb (like the .psd) is used for files over 2 gig in size (I think), so I don't see why it would tell you to save in RAW, unless you shot in it, although I confess this is not my area at all. I presume Exif data shows no signs of why.
Oh and welcome to the forum _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade!
Thanks for your answer. and sorry if i have not introduced myself properly (and for my average english)
BTW i use Photoshop CS3.
Yes i shoot in raw, but when i work on my montage/collage it is 8 bits and 240dpi (to not slow my computer too much).
(i have an old version of the collage in psd, on which 50% of the work is done, and it confirms these presets.)
This raw format doesnt seem related to the raw files you get with a camera. and when i open it photoshop doesnt launch "Camera raw".
I tried saving the old psd version (looking good) in raw format, and it still results in a grey abstract image when i open it.
Anyway, I think my file is screwed, if i want my panorama in full resolution i have to do it again...
Could it be a lack of memory that made photoshop wanting me to save as .raw and not .psd? Or maybe a mistake i made.. damn
