<div>Thank you for the response, Joris.</div>

<div>As you probably already know, Adobe's Big File Format option allows a user to save and work with files with virtually unlimited file-size, as long as they're saved with the .PSB export extension (I don't recall off-hand if the pixel limitation is still 200,000 x 200,000 for PSB).

<div>To me, it would make logical sense for Adobe to consider integrating BigTIFF, to allow the end-user an option to save in both formats, adding value to their own applications. If you could in anyway have the ability to suggest such support moving forward - I know that I'd be grateful for the effort.
