Amazing photo construction.

Apr 3, 2006 4:06PM PDT
This photo was built in Photoshop and Illustrator. It has 15,000 layers, 250,000 paths, 500 alpha channels, and more time than you can readily believe. It is 40x120 inches, and 1.7 gigabytes when flattened.

Be patient. The server doesn't seem to be very powerful.

?to one.
Ed, can you think of working with all these layers?
Beautiful work and impressive. 2,000 hours.
Nice image and ref from kiddpeat.

1,600 hours a year is the norm for an advertising agency in billable time.
Lots of work!
I like the work also.
