Splitting the image would be a good idea and as you are using CC could you not do that via Place Linked?

You'd have more files (PSD or otherwise) but linking them to one project file would mean less strain on PS.

You'd also have to work on each file independently but at least with only two files open in PS, the 'project' file and the one you're working on your set-up should cope better with it.

As each linked file gets updated when saved the 'project' file will always show the end result, but without the strain of handling all of it at once.

I'll admit I've not tried this on such a large scale but this seems the perfect opportunity to do so....and what have you got to lose?

I'd try this on a copy of your main file though......always keep the original well away from any 'experimentation'.

Can't guarantee it'll work but you never know....maybe worth a shot?

Regards.
