Geographic Imager 3.2 for Adobe Photoshop

Spatial Imaging Tools Plug-in

When map quality matters it is important to use the software tools that will allow you to produce the best quality maps possible in the most efficient and accurate manner. When working with vector map data to produce a map MAPublisher serves to bridge the gap between the GIS and vector graphics worlds.

But what about raster imagery? How can I project and edit my aerial and satellite ../images or my map scans in a similarly user-friendly environment?

Geographic Imager does just that by providing to Adobe Photoshop a similar set of tools and functionality as MAPublisher provides to Adobe Illustrator and Macromedia FreeHand, allowing you to use the powerful and vast image editing tools of Adobe Photoshop to enhance and manipulate your spatial imagery.

Geographic Imager enhances the already commanding Adobe Photoshop imaging environment by adding all the tools and technology necessary to support the import, edit, manipulation and export of geospatial ../images such as aerial and satellite imagery. In addition to allowing the use of Photoshop's numerous native imaging functions such as transparencies, cropping, individual pixel editing and brightness/contrast control, Geographic Imager adds the ability to import and recognize geotiffs and other referenced raster formats, automatically mosaic ../images spatially, reproject ../images, transform and geo-reference ../images based on ground control points and re-export ../images with all spatial information intact.

With the release of Version 3.2 (November 2010) Geographic Imager now also has a suite of tools for using DTM data to create hill-shading and layer coloured / hypsometric tinted images.
