As a user of very large image files I would like to have the capability to directly create BigTIFF from Spatial Modeler, MosaicPro, Viewer Save As, etc. This would enable the direct creation of very large (greater than 4GB) image files in a common exchange format.
Currently I have to create the large files in another format (such as IMG or lossless JPEG 2000) and then export to BigTIFF.
Direct write to BigTIFF is now supported in ERDAS IMAGINE 2020. Spatial Modeler (and applications which use it) only.
