Hi,
I'd like to save an image in high resolution for a poster.
The requested size is 20" by 30". I calculated that it would correspond

How can I create such a large ray traced image without crashing the
computer?
Many thanks in advance for the help.

Eva,
You may be past the limit of what PyMOL can handle. Regardless, the
64-bit Linux builds are the best at handling large-memory tasks.
Practice with something really simple:
fragment arg
as spheres
ray 6000,9000
Also, two more things I'd suggest for such a large image (in order to

resolution (e.g. 540 x 540 for a 3" square) and see how it holds up at a
normal viewi
