SUBJECT | Subject: [Hangout - NYLXS] [Gimp-user] Opening uncompressed NASA image files
|
Hi,
I’m using GIMP 2.10.8 on an iMac.
As a retired Data Manager of a NASA planetary image collection, I’m comfortable with image manipulation. I’ve even written and given lessons in how to make color and 3-D images from greyscale images.
The main archive of NASA images is the PDS Imaging Node. The files are in PDS uncompressed format (.IMG files), so no decompressor is required.
P’shop used to have an “Open Raw” option that allowed Rows, Samples, and Offset (header size), then just popped them open with no fuss.
Is there a comparable method of opening .IMG images in GIMP?
Sample directory: https://pdsimage2.wr.usgs.gov/archive/mer1po/mer1po_0xxx/data/sol0333/edr/
Sample image from the directory above: 1p157746813eff40b8p2363l3m1.img
Many thanks. Rick
