Release 2.2.01 “The Productivity Edition”
This is a minor version upgrade for ProRaster Scientific, ProRaster Premium, and ProRaster Essential.
This is a significant upgrade for ProRaster Scientific designed to greatly improve user productivity when processing, analysing, and rendering satellite multispectral imagery.
The new Product Sequence Creation Wizard eliminates tedious product creation and editing and makes building and extending sequence products easy.
The Time Control Panel makes it easy to move the time point in a rendering algorithm without editing individual component properties.
The Image Export operation now supports batch export by iterating through all time points. The numbered image sequence can be directly imported into video editing applications to generate timelapse videos of any rendering algorithm based on a sequence product.
Rendering common spectral index rasters has been made easier – the rendering algorithm automatically uses appropriately named color maps that are shipped in this version, or you can make your own.
Version 2.2.01 includes some important bug fixes and minor improvements.
ProRaster Premium and ProRaster Essential inherit the bug fixes and improvements from the ProRaster Scientific development, some of which are listed below.
