Avenza Announces Geographic Imager

Avenza Systems Inc. (Canada) has announced Geographic Imager, a new plug-in suite for Adobe Photoshop that adds geospatial functionality to this powerful image editing program.

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 recognise 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.

Features of Geographic Imager include;

• allows the use of Adobe Photoshop native functionality without destroying the spatial properties of the image
  
• import geotiffs and other spatial raster formats along with all georeferencing
  
• export geotiffs and other spatial raster formats
  
• georeference non-referenced imagery
  
• Ground Control Point (GCP) transformation
  
• reprojection of spatial imagery
  
• automatic mosaicking of spatial imagery
  
• Adobe Photoshop CS2 compatible
  
• Mac and Windows versions available
  
• floating licensing option availability
