Max number of subs for image integration?

[andyc67]

Is there a max number of frames for image integration?
If so what is it?

Thanks!

I would think not. The only thing you will run into is the limitations of your computer
I've been stacking 200+ images in one integration run for instance, but that took something like 6 hours to complete

It depends on the Operating System.

Se here for an explanation, workarounds, etc:

The ImageIntegration tool has no specific limit. The only practical limit is the maximum number of simultaneous open files allowed by the operating system:

Linux and FreeBSD: The default limit is 1024 files, but it can be increased very easily with the ulimit command. Non-privileged users typically can increase the limit up to 2048 files. With root privileges the limit can be set to any number with ulimit.

Windows: The maximum number of open files is 2048. This limit cannot be increased, and most likely Windows will impose a lower limit under the hood.

OS X: The default limit is 256 open files. The ulimit command does not work. Recently a user has found a solution on OS X 10.10 that involves creating a system daemon script.

Thanks! I use OS X that explains it.
I will try the workaround. I have been stacking the files in batches then stacked the resulting partial stacks.
Thanks for the great info!
