Is there any way for CorelDraw X6 to export very large TIFF files? e.g. greater than 30,000 pixels in each dimension? I am currently running X5 on XP 32-bit and it cannot seem to handle it, even though Photo-Paint appears to have the ability.I finally manage to get our IT guys to give me a Win7 64-bit test machine for me to trial X6 64-bit, but seems to only do marginally better than my X5 installation. The test machine already has 7GB RAM installed plus a very, very large drive.I also had to run the same test on Adobe Illustrator and it was able to deal with this very quickly and smoothly, no troubles at all.You may find it hard to believe, but I actually like using CorelDraw :-), which is so far the standard package for our company, but if I cannot get X6 doing what we want, I'm afraid it's the end of the line.

I seek enlightenment, why do you need such larg tif files?
I have a printer which is capable of up to 600 DPI and is capable of handling media over 2000 mm long, so if you work that out, it's over 30000 pixels.
I know, a lot of people are going to say "Well, if you're printing something that big, you don't need to print at that resolution, nobody is ever going to see it". This is true if it's a large banner hung on the side of a building 5 stories up. Well unfortunately I can't go into detail about what I'm doing, but I actually have a requirement in some cases to precisely place pixels in specific positions at that resolution.
Here's one hypothetical application:
I'm doing a very long mural designed to hang on a wall next to the sidewalk. In this case, the viewers will walk by and be viewing the image from very close up so we need good resolution & image quality, but at the same time it is very long and needs to be seamless so we do not want to stitch together multiple prints.
