Geographic Imager Features

Geographic Imager Panel improved Redesigned for Adobe Photoshop CS6, the Geographic Imager® panel provides access to all the tools and functions quickly and easily. All spatial information related to a GeoTIFF, DEM, ECW, MrSID or other supported image including the co-ordinate system, world location of the corners and pixel size are displayed along with buttons to access Geographic Imager tools. Measure distances with the Adobe Photoshop Ruler tool and see the results in the panel. More time is left to edit geospatial data rather than searching for tools. A new dark and light panel matches the CS6 user interface.
	Retain Spatial Properties improved Geographic Imager allows the use of Adobe Photoshop native functionality without destroying the spatial properties of a GeoTIFF, DEM, ECW, MrSID or other spatial image. Easily manipulate and adjust the visual elements such as colour values and levels, histograms, hues and sharpness. Spatial properties of the image are automatically updated and retained even after performing crop, rotate or geospatial adjustments. This is important in industries such as photogrammetry and remote sensing where it is necessary for analysis.
Import and Export Spatial Imagery improved Import and manage georeferenced imagery in Adobe Photoshop such as GeoTIFF, NITF, MrSID, PCI and other compatible raster data formats, including support for CIR, RGBI and other multispectral and multichannel data. Advanced Import allows you to crop images during the import process (before they are opened), making it a great way to crop large images. See a complete list of supported formats.
Advanced Import improved Import multiple files of differing formats (drag and drop supported). Resample and crop large images to quicken the import process. In addition, mosaic and import images as layers into existing documents, specify and adjust DEM and DTM information and combine multiple DEM files on import. Useful for remote sensing, modify bands/channel color mapping and select specific channels to import for multiband/hyperband images.
	Export Web Tiles new Use the Export Web Tiles feature to generate image tiles that can be used for online map purposes. Currently Google Maps and Microsoft Bing Maps formats are supported. Included with the tiles is an HTML file that can be further edited to fit your online mapping solution.
	Geospatial PDF support Create Adobe Acrobat PDF files containing coordinate systems from Geographic Imager image or import and modify existing Geospatial PDF documents. Easily share or publish them online. Find locations, measure distances, perimeters and areas, add locations markers and customize export settings. Take the geospatial PDF maps on the go using the PDF Maps iOS app.
Import Elevation Data improved Import DEM formats such as ArcInfo ASCII Grid, ArcInfo Binary Grid, USGS DEM ASCII/CDED, Military Elevation Data/DTED and SRTM. Assign a DEM Schema during import for easier rendering. Overlay aerial photography to create custom looking images. See a complete list of supported formats.
	Terrain Shader improved Create shaded relief maps from DEM data in Adobe Photoshop quickly and easily using the Terrain Shader feature. Control intensity and lighting source. Define elevation intervals for custom colour ramps.
Georeference Imagery Import or add ground control points for accurate georeferencing of aerial photography or satellite imagery with multiple transformation types supported. Assess residual errors to improve geoferencing and save control point data as reference files. Quick Georeference by a single tie point, two tie points, or from other documents.
	Transform improved Extensive support for thousands of geographic and projected coordinate systems with the ability to save custom definitions for future use. Re-center images using a custom central meridian and modify pixel resolution.
Mosaic Mosaic raster images to create a seamless image. Retain images as separate layers or flatten to create one image. Now supports image transformation during Mosaic, making it easier to get the images the way you want. Also, now create seamless mosaics of images with different coordinate systems, pixel sizes, channels and colour modes.
Tile Tile raster data into multiple images by tile size or count and automatically saves tiles using sequential naming into any supported spatial image format. Great for turning large satellite images into smaller tiles and serving them online.
	GeoCrop improved The GeoCrop tool allows image cropping based on a combination of pixels or geographic coordinates (geodetic and projected). Easily define coordinates or draw a crop area to see a preview. Advanced Import allows you to crop images during import, making it a great way to crop large images without the need to open them first.
Channel Management improved Use Geographic Imager Channel Management to quickly create false- and true-colour images that retain georeferencing. In addition, Adobe Photoshop Merge and Split Channels are supported. Useful for remote sensing and image analysis.
Measure and Survey new The Geographic Imager panel has two new tabs: Ruler and Survey. Measure distances with the Adobe Photoshop Ruler tool and see the results in the panel. Quickly find coordinates and DEM values of points of interest with the Color Sampler Tool and view the results in the Survey tab.
	Automate Tasks improved Create scripts and actions of Geographic Imager and Adobe Photoshop tools to automate repetitive tasks. All Geographic Imager tools are compatible with automation.
Licensing Easily manage license options including commercial, academic, multi-user and floating. New Basic license available! Empower multiple users on a network with cost effective network or floating licenses.
Compatibility improved Mac and Windows versions available for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 (including 64-bit support) operating system and Intel-based Mac hardware.
