Re: Convert very highres image to tiled EXR?

Martin,

As Michael says, STL on Windows in 32-bit mode limits the maximum
file size to 2 GBytes.  Programs compiled for Linux, OSX or for
64-bit Windows should not have this limitation.  On 32-bit Windows
you can work around the 2 GByte limit by supplying your own low-level
file I/O routines, as explained in section 8 of this document:

     http://www.openexr.com/ReadingAndWritingImageFiles.pdf

Michael's low-level I/O routines for Windows have not yet been merged
into the OpenEXR CVS repository.
