    Having problem with "artwork size & resolution exceeds the max that can be rasterized"

      Hi all,

       

      Ok, I created a 162.7" x 90.6" document (artboard) for an exhibition display I'm designing. The document was created using all the defaults - i think this is where i went wrong. Illustrator is now telling me that "the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized" after i open the document and when i try to add a drop shadow to anything.

       

      Other than some vector graphics i created in illustrator, I only have 3 180ppi and 4 300ppi photos tranfered right off the photograpers camera.

       

      I selected :

       

      1. "Print Document" from the initial splash window.

      2. I entered the artboard size, bleed and left the "Raster Effects" setting to "High (300ppi)"

       

      I think leaving the Raster Effects setting at 300ppi is where the problem is.

       

      Do i have to create a new document or can i fix the existing one?
