The Image Crop Tool

Use the Image Crop tool to crop a region from any raster image in the Job List whether it is a single image or an image mosaic.

To define the area of an image that you want to crop, draw a rectangle on the preview image or select a shapefile with one or more polygons. If the shapefile contains multiple polygons, you can either create a single output image that contains all of the polygon crop areas, or you can create a separate output image for each crop area. Multiple output images are saved according to the following naming convention:

<output file name>_<column label>_<polygon ID>

For example, if you select Washington as the output file name, and the shapefile polygons have a column for counties, one of the output files would have the following name:

Seattle_KingCounty_1.sid

NOTE: If you crop existing MrSID and JPEG 2000 images but do not compress the images again, you do not use data from the data cartridge.
