Yes, you explain much better what I was trying to accomplish.

The reason is different though. The image I'm rendering is 8868x22131 and as
a uncompressed BMP comes to over 600 meg. It turns out that a lot of
graphics editors can even load an image of this size. (I did find one that
can view it called 'ER Viewer' at www.ermapper.com).

My goal is to either render it in pieces or slice up a complete rendering.
So, alternatively, can anyone suggest some graphics slicing software that
can handle huge files?

My thanks,
Ouroborus
