Thank you for your inputs. As always when I ask for help on these problems I found that I hadn't been doing it properly. I wasn't properly setting the exported region (it's not a global dataset). This significantly cut down the size of the export to the point
where GPlates will now allow me to export the data at its original resolution. </div>

The trouble I'm having now is that the exported raster looks to contain only certain parts of the data, as if the export process has cut the raster into segments and then left some of them out. It's hard to describe so I've attached a screenshot to describe
what I'm talking about. The grayscale area is the reconstructed raster I'm trying to export as displayed in GPlates, and the green areas are the exported raster when I import it back in (it's the same result when I look at it in other GIS packages). This doesn't
happen for lower resolution exports.</div>

Could you please double check the resolution of your original raster? If the tif file is only 43M, it is unlikely the resolution can be so high as 0.0005 degree, which is a 720000x360000 raster, unless the raster contains very sparse data. If the resolution
of the original raster is not that high, it is not necessary to export it as <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important;">0.0005 degree. The export can only be as good as
the original one.</span></div>

When exporting rasters we currently pass raster data to the image drivers as a single 'uncompressed' memory buffer. Hence the terabyte. Whereas the original tiff is highly compressed. Maybe with some of the 'tiled' image formats we could export differently
in GPlates in the future, but that would involve some rearranging of things and would be quite low priority.</div>

The 0.01 degree you successfully exported is near the 32-bit limit. You might be able to go higher with a 64-bit Windows build (assuming you're using a 32-bit build; Mac and Linux are already 64-bit).</div>
