a completely colored uncompressed image...

so lets say its 32 bit.

32 bits per pixel.
TIF's do not support alpha channel(I don't think)

so its 24bit,(the other 8 is alpha)

24/8 = 3 bytes/pixel

689mb *1000 * 1000 = 689,000,000bytes

689,000,000bytes
________________
3 bytes per pixel

=229,666,666 pixels

for a roughly square image

15155px x 15155px roughly.

I think I did my math right.
