MrSID is an acronym for Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database. More information is available at LizardTech.

MrSID imagery can not be printed as is by the plotter. First it has to uncompress the file, which can greatly increase plotting times. The only solution is to use image catalogs instead of MrSID imagery if short plotting time is a necessity.

Some King County imagery is available in the convenient MrSID format, but many users report difficulties getting imagery in this format to print out correctly. If you are having trouble with this, you may have an outdated MrSID driver file or your environment variables may be set incorrectly.

GeoExpress is the next generation of the MrSID GeoEncoder. It is still produced by Lizardtech Software. The name of the product was changed to more accurately reflect the purpose and functionality of the product. This next release of the MrSID technology makes images "network ready" enabling rapid access and dissemination of Geospatial imagery.

Individual DOQs range between 150 and 200 mb. They were put into MrSID format in order to allow for Internet access to the files.

Users often need to display two or more orthophoto or digital raster graphic mosaics without having no data areas block out overlap areas. ArcGIS, rather than ArcView, software must be used to display transparent no data areas. The following procedures work best with LizardTech's MrSID images.

Yes. GeoExpress can read all previous versions of MrSID and encode to MG2 and MG3 files. The ExpressView browser plug-in can view all previous versions of the MrSID file format. The ExpressView browser plug-in ships on the GeoExpress CD and is available as a free download at www.lizardtech.com in the downloads section.

Current 3rd party applications from GIS and Imaging vendors such as ESRI, Bentley, Autodesk, Intergraph, Leica/ERDAS, etc., support MG3 format in their most current releases as an update or upgrade. LizardTech provides partners with tools to ensure support for the new file format. For information on support for MrSID generation file format in other software applications, please inquire directly with the software vendor. If you currently are using older 1.

To save time, we calculate the raster statistics on the lowest resolution within the wavelet-compressed raster. This gives a less accurate representation of the raster, but the statistics are calculated very quickly. Most often, the stretch type can be set to "None" as this type of raster is usually stretched prior to being compressed. This is a problem experienced when using ERDAS Imagine IMG rasters that contain an internal table.

Answer: Raster Manager supports BIL, GIF, MrSid, RLC, Intergraph C30 and Intergraph C31 files for viewing and conversion to other supported file formats. These files cannot be used as Save As or Batch Convert output formats by Raster Manager. Answer: In older design files created with different MicroStation/J applications (for example I/RASB, and some Geotiff and Intergraph TIFF attachments created with Raster Manager version 07.11.36.
