Looking for image reprojection software that can do maps over 4K

Post #1by Shadow-Dragon-777 » 06.09.2022, 20:26

I am trying to make an 8K map of the sun based on SDO imagery and sadly the software reproject image that I have been using only does up to 4K. Does anyone know of any software that reprojects images into a map with a higher resolution than 4K?

Make a 4k map and scale it up to 8k with Paint/GIMP.

No they're asking if there is a program that can reproject images of the Sun, so that they can be used to assemble together an 8k texture.

1.) That texture is not in visible light, and a visible light texture of the sun is what Shadow-Dragon-777 is trying to make
2.) That texture is not even 8k, it's 4k (they lied to you about that texture's resolution)

They lie about a lot of texture resolutions on that site.
