1. Project with 8 TIFF images.

2. Render settings:
PSD/PSB
16 bits
Panoramas and Pictures checked
Embed all outputs checked

3. APG rendered and wrote 3.5 GB file to disk.

Results:

Image preview is black in file browser.

When I tried to open panorama in Photoshop CS4, I got this error message:

"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."

I tried a second time with a new project and got the same unopenable file.

I see that the filename has a .psd extension. Version 2.0.9 was saving files this large at about 1.2 GB and in .psb format.
