shrug-l: Compressing TIFFs

[North, Joe]

Greetings,
 
Some additional ArcScan extension info...I've had success with ArcScan using
the manual vectorization procedure in ArcGIS 9.1.  This is helpful when you
only need to convert a limited number of features from a scanned image (as
opposed to the automated vectorization process that yields sketchy results
((finding the magic vectorization tolerance settings for your image is an art
form)) in all but the cleanest scans and large file sizes).

Kristal,
Have you tried using ArcScan? I do not think it has a size limit. Other than
that you will need to reduce the actual file size and not through
compression. Compression only reduces the storage size. The image must
decompress into memory when viewed bring it back to it's original size or at
least that is the way I understand it. So you would need to reduce your
resolution, trim the image or some combination of both.

	Good morning everybody, I have received a large TIFF of an old
scanned map that is approx. 450mb.  I georeferenced it and tried to convert
to vector for further clean-up but spatial analyst is giving me an 'over the
max 2GB' error.  I tried a lossee compression because I just need the
boundaries from the map but this did not help and took over 2 hours to
process.  Can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks! Kristal
