What are you going to use that file for, I don't know of any Printing services that could use that file.

I’ve seen wall-sized photographic displays in:
- airports
- casino and hotel lobbies
- corporate building lobbies

Wherever you have folks who want to make an impression, you might have a need for this level of resolution.

I could print from My 45mp files to Billboard!

Maybe if it is printed at 15 ppi and intended to be view 200 ft away from the freeway. The largest your 45mp image can be printed at 300ppi is 18" x 27". My photos are intended to be used for wall murals printed at 150 - 300 ppi and viewed from 2-3 ft. I sell these to many venues such as Arthur Chan mentioned, corporate building lobbies, conference rooms airports, prisons. Printing is done using photo grade wall paper or vinyl materials.

You are absolutely correct. All professional photographers only need 24mp. This is complete overkill and wont matter on a bill board. Thomas heaton has many of his photos at airports printed wall size using 24mp.

So you stitched, stacked images? That's awesome
