Geographic Imager Basic License

The Geographic Imager Basic license is suitable for occasional users who need to import geospatial images in Adobe Photoshop for editing. Quickly import your imagery or scanned unreferenced maps into Adobe Photoshop and reference them with the easy-to-use Georeference tool that includes coordinate system detection. Enhance images using powerful Adobe Photoshop tools and export to standard industry formats such as GeoTIFF or publish online using PDF Maps App format. The Basic license is is also suitable for QA/QC who review images and need to save to specific image formats to maintain georeference. Below is a table that compares the Basic and Full licenses of Geographic Imager.

The Geographic Imager Basic license is available for Photoshop Creative Cloud and does not include maintenance.Ā  An upgrade to a Geographic Imager Full license is available at any time. See pricing and availability for more information about obtaining a license. Contact sales@avenza.com for further inquiries.

  • * Rectify functionality is not available with a Basic license because it requires Transform. Georeferencing is considered to only include the assigning of a spatial reference and coordinates to the image, whereas rectification is the transformation and resampling of the image to remove distortion.

  • ** Only several formats available for Quick Save to Format: BigTIFF, DEM TIFF, GeoTIFF, and Geospatial PDF.

  • *** To write MrSID files, GeoExpress must also be installed (unavailable with a trial GeoExpress license). MrSID write ability on Windows only.

  • Note: Basic License can import images up to 1 gigapixel.
