I have just reproduced what you described with gimp-1.2 and it worked like a charm even though my box has less RAM. I could create a RGB image of 15593 x 2008, copy large parts of it into a new image and save that as JPEG (even using the Export feature which creates another copy of it). Salut, Sven
