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>

I am trying to export a high-resolution (0.0005 degree cellsize) numerical raster which I have reconstructed using GPlates. I would ideally like to keep this resolution, but the GPlates console gives me this:</div>

Now please correct me if I misunderstand what's going on here, but the original TIF file was only 43 megabytes, yet GPlates is asking for 1
