SDK Question creating L9 -L11 Global textures

[ncc1701d]

Maybe I am not understanding how I do this but in order to create a global earth texture at L9 - (L11global which beta version says it has), doesnt the original bmp have to be = or > than 32768 in width to run in pltex.exe?
What programs are people using to create files like this? My Gimp2 crashes trying to make anything over 32,000w x 16384h px and photoshop wont make bmps = to or > than 32,000w x 16384h.
My computer is a Vista 64 with4 gig ram.
thanks

I saw, a few days ago, while I was looking to integrate panotools in GIMP, a few words about size limits in Gimp. Those informations are old (2003) , but may be you can find some answers in it.

Or from there, in the search function : "gimp file size limit"

I have, most generally, some documents (old topics) about pltex. I'll send you today.

Good day
