I disagree. If it only took a little thought then almost all programs =
would
be able to do it.
It in fact requires a lot of thought and the problem has already been =
solved
i.e. virtual memory. There's no point in solving the problem again. =
Virtual
memory of some sort is the only solution to not having enough RAM to =
store
the whole image and as we all know that makes things chug along slowly.
Nothing you can do about it. If you compress the image in memory to fit =
it
in then you lose quality and surely quality is the whole point of =
having an
80 meg TIFF. If you were prepared to give up quality then you'd convert =
it
to some detail losing format like JPEG wouldn't you?
