What is the maximum size of a file. I know at one time (PS5) it was 48 inches. If that still true?

Photoshop supports a maximum pixel dimension of 300,000 by 300,000 pixels per image. This restriction places limits on the print size and resolution available to an image.

Photoshop's maximum print size is determined by pixels, not by inches. It has never had a limit of "48 inches;" its limit in the past has been 30,000 pixels in any dimension. That's 100 inches at 300 pixels per inch, or 50 inches at 600 pixels per inch, or 416 inches at 72 pixels per inch. (There are file size limitations as well; older versions of Windows and Mac OS do not permit a single file to be larger than 2 gigabytes.)

Today, th limitation is now 300,000 pixels in any one dimension. That's 1,000 inches at 300 pixels per inch, or 500 inches at 600 pixels per inch, or 4163 inches at 72 pixels per inch. You can in Windows XP/2000 or Mac OS X also enable the option to support files over 2 GB in size.
