What is the file format? How can I view the imagery I buy?
The QuickBird products are delivered in GeoTIFF format, handled by most image processing software – such as Photoshop – or any GIS (Geographic Information System) software. The GeoTIFF 1.0 file format fully complies with TIFF 6.0 specifications, but has the added ability to store geographic information within file tags. Software packages – such as Photoshop – that do not read geographic file tags will simply ignore them and open the file as a regular TIFF. For imagery products which are not geo-referenced, these geographic file tags are simply not specified. Depending on the area and product you are interested in, your image processing software may need to be able to read very large (more than 1 GB) files, with 16 bits and up to 4-layers.
