How to manage a REALLY BIG graphic?

Moonliner · 04-05-2005, 03:18 PM

I have a dream and it's the size of a wall. A BIG wall.

maps.google.com has just added the keyhole satellite image data. What I would like to do is take a wall in my basement (~24x8 ft) find the center of it and paste up an 8-1/2 x 11 glossy satellite print of my house at the top resolution. Then move out in all directions adding segments until I fill up the entire wall making one giant image.

Now I could approach this as a simple cut and paste (ie with sissors) type affair but that seems a bit low tech. What I would like to do is create the image in the computer so I can paste all the images together correctly, add a few notations and then print it out.

Is there any not too expensive software that's good for dealing with humongous graphics?
