Export resolution

[Carl W]

I just purchased the Pro version and am satisfied, but am looking forward to a higher pixel export option.
I understand the regular version has higher resolution from reading the forum threads?
What is the difference between regular and Pro in regards to pixels export maximum?

My computer card
MaxTextureWidth:  4096
MaxTextureHeight: 4096

Also if I drag a jpeg or bitmap into Global Mapper it needs projection information and it don't recognize the .jgw file is there a solution?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,

With Pro you will be limited to 4096x4096 image exports.  With Basic you might be able to go higher, depending on how much video memory you have.  Note that your Pro code will give you access to TF basic as well, so you could try installing Basic and see what you can get.

Our intention is to improve this in Pro, or find a way around.  Hopefully soon.

As for Global Mapper, I am really shocked they don't support world files.  What version are you using?  I have version 7 and see that it isn't supported.  Perhaps in the latest?  

If not I will make a note to look into the ".prj" format and see if we can add support for it in TF.

Thanks.

Thank you for that information.
I'm really happy with your product and look forward to updates and improvements.
I have Global Mapper 9 and maybe it does support world files? as i'm new to this too, and really don't know?
thanks,
Carl

A follow up on this.

I had occasion to use Global Mapper today and it does support world files (jpw), you just can't open them directly.

Do this:

export image view in TopoFusion, including worldfile
both files will be in the export directory
open the .jpeg in global mapper
it will ask for projection information - you just need to supply the UTM zone the map is in (you can get this from TopoFusion).
choose WGS84 for the projection (NAD 83 will work too).

The resulting map will be correctly georeferenced.

Hope that helps.

Hello,
I know this thread is quite old, but it pertains to what I need to ask.
I'm using the Color Aerial data and have succesfully managed to export the map background into Global Mapper, but my problem is that the image is just a little off using UTM zone 10 WGS84. It only does ths with the Color Ariel data and not the other sources. Any way of correcting this?


Thanks,
Carl

The color aerial data is in a different projection than other map sources (like the topos) in TopoFusion.

You made a good point -- the current worldfiles are not correct for the Color Aerials.  I will make a note to fix this for the next version.

Thanks.
