Support support support support.... wow. Look at the resolution, detail, action. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support An interesting tidbit is that the image is also offered in twelve tiles, 29,696×29,696 px each, which, if printed and combined, would yield a mind-blowing overall resolution of 89,088x118,784 px. Brandmeister^talk 09:23, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hot damn. Commons can take up to 1 GB using batched uploads, so something of a somewhat similar size would be workable... if the photo editing software didn't break down upon trying to open such a large image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should write a script that would assemble tiled images on Commons into a scrollable image. Seems pretty doable--it's how a lot of the museum websites do it. Chick Bowen 04:56, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
