Sounds like a "What are scroll bars?" problem. lol Seriously though, I 
use the preview window to see what I am doing, so I don't have to load 
the image into a separate program to check it, which takes even more 
memory and wastes the time needed to load the image besides (which on 
that big of a file..). Lets just say I would be glad I have a relatively 
fast computer. lol Having it bomb on a big image would be very annoying. 
Thankfully I have never generated one that big, but it is an annoying 
limitation never the less.
