Apparently there aren't really 15000 at a time (that would need some 
terabytes of RAM). He used separate image *files*, each with some 
hundred layers, then put those together.

Also, the 1GB file is the final bitmap (probably compressed). The 
photoshop file is probably *many* gigabytes, to keep all the layers 
independent.
