Dang stupid architects.
One of the projects we flew last spring was delivered and all just fine. That client wants to add some new buildings to the area, and of course that means an architect is needed to figure out what will meet their needs. So the architect firm contacts me for a full resolution version of the image. Our client does not even want that as all they ever do is print samll versions of use it for the web or in brochures.
The full image is a tiff, at 1.2 gigabytes. Not insane big, but pretty big. They want it to be sent via FTP. OK, no sweat. Well, any professional that works with aerial images should have software that opens a JPG2000 image, as that is "just 102 MB and virtually no compression artifacts.
Not this group. They can't open the file I uploaded. So back to a tif file. Of course they are trying to open it in freaking PowerPoint and for some reason it chokes on the file. Maybe they can just use some crayons to draw what they need. Come on, PowerPoint! Gimme a break.
I can make a JPG version but it will still choke their system.
