Mr Sidstandalone Viewer2

MrSID™ Macintosh Stand Alone Viewer Version 2.0 Introduction The MrSID Stand Alone Viewer displays images that have been encoded into the MrSID format. Each MrSID image file contains data from multiple resolutions stored in a single pixel database. The MrSID Viewer starts viewing an image at the smallest resolution view, and allows complete control to zoom, pan, navigate and investigate through larger and smaller zoom levels. The Viewer uses Selective Decompression™ to decode only the portion of an image necessary for viewing. This makes rapid viewing of large images possible, while maintaining maximum image quality. With the MrSID Stand Alone Viewer, you can also export any part of the image to TIFF at any resolution. The MrSID Stand Alone Viewer is available at no charge for individual use, so that the largest possible number of people have the ability to view MrSID imagery.
