Now that you are familiar with loading and displaying images and grids, you will learn how to copy images and grids.

Copying Images

The image copy GUI has four different tabs which you can use to specify different aspects of the copy command.

• The Image Selection tab is used to select the copy method and choose the source and destination datasets.
  • Copy Single Image allows you to choose the specific image to copy.

  • Copy Latest Image automatically selects and copies the lastest image from the dataset.

  • Update Dataset copies the latest image from the dataset after it rechecks the dataset for the most recent image.

  • Copy Entire Dataset copies the entire source dataset to the destination dataset.

• The Band tab allows you to choose which band or bands you wish to copy.

• The Location tab allows you to specify the center point of the image as either the upper left hand corner of the image, a latitude and longitude point, or a specific station.

• The Size and Magnification tab lets you change the Line/Element magnification controls, as well as choose the image size to be copied.
