A130101 - “Locked image” error

Products:

GeoExpress

Summary:

On trying to load an image in the Job list you receive an error:

<path>/<filename>.sid is a locked image. Only unlocked images may be used as input.

Cause:

The file is a MrSID Generation 2 (MG2) image that has been password protected. GeoExpress does not support using password protected (locked) images as input files.

Solution:

If you have access to the source file, reencode it to a later version of the MrSID format, or reencode to MG2 without password protection (by default, password protection is disabled).

Access password options by choosing Encode Options from the Options menu and selecting the Security tab.
