Sorry to those who read our message more than once. // Dear All, If you are interested in using free Landsat ETM+ imagery, and free image band combination tool for making beautiful base maps or image backdrops in GIS, here we are pleased to inform you that we are currently distributing a free, advanced, and fully functional image band combination tool. It is included in the free version of HighView (an advanced image fusion and pan-sharpening program). The free band combination module has the following features: - Reads images in raw raster format, ENVI's *.img/*.hdr format, Idrisi 32's *.rst/*.drc format, and GeoTIFF format; outputs results in 24-bit BMP format and/or GeoTIFF format, which can be readily and conveniently used as backdrops in major GIS software programs, such as MapInfo and ArcGIS. It is simple, efficient, and powerful. No image analysis knowledge is required, and anyone can use it. - Works for various 8-bit imagery, including vast, publicly available Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery distributed by the GLCF (Global Land Cover Facility, www.landcover.org), ASTER, MODIS, SPOT, etc. - No limitation on image size. - Various options of linear and nonlinear image stretches. - No expiry date. - ... Some examples can be seen at http://www.geosage.com/highview/gallery_athens_etm+.html A free version can be downloaded at http://www.geosage.com/highview/download.html Cheers, Kevin Geosage www.geosage.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 13430
