We dug around and found out that our friends at Esri had already been notified of the same issue and they’d already discovered that the problem was undefined projections. MrSID images are sometimes created from TIFFs that have [...]

Well, we (LizardTech) do not officially offer a native Linux viewer, but I got to wondering about it and tried out the following steps on an Ubuntu 10.10 desktop release. Note that while [...]

The imagery is available in both MrSID format (compressed 8-bit, 3-band, RGB natural color, 5000′ by 5000′ tiles) and JPEG 2000 [...]

What is a floating license? A floating license is a license that [...]
