750,000 Photoshop layers, 6.5GB file size, 4 years to create
Those are some hefty numbers for a Photoshop document. Bert Monroy has made his previous 15,000 layer Photoshop file that took 11 months to create pale in comparison.
Bert’s latest digital painting, titled Times Square, is a 300×60 inch, 6.5 GB flattened Photoshop file features Adobe Photoshop founders John and Thomas Knoll standing in the main foreground, surrounded by digital imaging experts such as Russell Brown and Jeff Schewe.
Here are a few more stats of the image:
- The image size is 60 inches by 300 inches.
- The flattened file weighs in at 6.52 Gigabytes.
- It took four years to create.
- The painting is comprised of almost 3,000 individual Photoshop and Illustrator files.
- Taking a cumulative total of all the files, the overall image contains over 500,000 layers.
The Photoshop file on the site can be zoomed using Photoshop’s Zoomify tool, which allows you a close-up view of all the details in the image, and they are amazing!

Bert has been one of my inspirations for a number of years, since one of his early ‘how to’ books inspired me to give digital illustration a try.
Russell Brown is the other. Russell’s early ‘how to’ QT movies embedded on the PS3 installation CD helped me retain my sanity whilst making sense of all that was to become to me.
Along with giant helpings of Don McLean’s words and music of course. 😉
