Large World Construction Issues

What do you mean stretched? What map projection are you going to use ?

The only warning I receive with Gimp is that the file is too large but you can increase the limit in the options. Still. I'm suprised a file with these dimensions is over 1 gb. I had files twice that big in photoshop that were far from 1 gb.

I wasn't going to use a projection I'm just going to have a basic rectangular map. If that makes sense.

No, all maps are in a projection. They all have distortion. If you're as adamant about being realistic as you say, this is something you need to get right from the beginning otherwise any later effort you put into realism is pretty much pointless.
