Title: megapixel size limit??
Post by: luissantos84 on May 18, 2011, 08:57
I made a big picture (sort of panoramic) I have a few already there with like 50 megapixels but this one is 90 megapixels but got the following rejection:
"There's a 25 megapixel size limit, please downsize image to less than 5000x5000 pixels."

days before got a 35 megapixel approved.. where is this written? this limit? Yuri is downsizing in hassel pics?

I thought this limit was for rastered illustraions only.
I do 3D work so they are JPG but need to be classified as illustrations in the categories, so i always had this limit, but thought was not aplicable to the photos.

If you want to make sure that it gets accepted 100% - yes.

Must be something new, as there are quite a few panoramas that are over 25. I even saw one that was 44mp.

Given their pricing structure I can see why they would limit the sizes, as they don't make any more money for these mega files. But I have to imagine the mexapixel size is only going to increase or they are going to be excluding the high end camera shooters.
