Gigantic Image Sizes - they work!

So, I'm thinking about using FF for a new large-scale image project. So, to make sure it works, I tested it on a large file, which was 6301x5715pixels. I used a filter I knew is fairly demanding and slow (my own 'Landscape Farms' filter)- which uses an image input, has many layers of stuff, (including blurs) and is surface type. It actually worked! It took several hours, but it eventually output an image.

Impressive, FF team!

Cool; so do you know how demanding of a filter / which filter your friend used?

I love how FF can be used at huge levels of detail, and it's smooth detail all the way down.

I haven't had much luck with things looking the same much above 2X or 3X the base size (ie + at 1200X or 1800X). The blur and some other components simply don't scale right for professional work at larger sizes without a lot of adjustment (along with many other minor issues that don't even show up until about 2400X and above). I assume it's just the price to be paid for cutting edge seamless tiling with such control and supreme lighting (ie = I accept the limitations for now, just saying larger renders will not look the same/as clean without a ton of detail work/adjustments in many cases). I'm hoping they fix all/most-of that in V2.

----Both, in that what's the diff if the ratio is off ? Maybe a handful of really well made filters dont suffer it notice-abley, but try making one (texture filter) then checking it at 2400X, it looks like sh*t up close in ways. Ie = big diff from 600X to 2400X for pro/detailed work, massive gap in most cases for textures.
