MicroImages’ TNTmips® and TNTedit® Writes Directly to LizardTech’s MrSID® Technology
SEATTLE, Wash. – October 26, 2005 - LizardTech, a division of Celartem, Inc., has signed an agreement with MicroImages Inc. in order for TNTmips users to save images directly to MrSID compression format.
Under the terms of the agreement, existing and new TNTmips customers are able to purchase a software cartridge that will give them compression capability at a reduced price compared to the cost of full licences of GeoExpress. With this arrangement, users can complete complex image processing processes and output to MrSID format all in one program. This is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris.
Using the MrSID image format means that organizations are able to share with those that natively read this format all of their imagery within a vast range of software. The efficient compression of the MrSID image format makes it easier and more cost effective to distribute massive geospatial imagery.
