Tutorial 2: Working with Data 57

In the Image Type box, choose the Output Format as (TIFF (*.tif)) and select the

Colour Depth (True Color (24-bit))

4. In the Region to Export box click the (Full Map) option.

5. In the Image Resolution box, change the Pixel Size to 35.75.

Note: Pixel Size is the number of ground units each pixel in the image represents. In

the example above, each pixel in the exported map represents 35.75 meters.

You can set the pixel size to match the grid cell size closely*. However,

rounding error usually prevents the grid cell size from exactly equalling the

pixel size.

6. In the Export to box click File.

7. Click [OK] to export the Oasis montajv60.map in tiff format. The Export file

name dialog is displayed.

8. Specify a file name for the tiff file and click [Save]. The tiff file is saved in your

project directory.

Printing Maps in Oasis montaj

Oasis montaj, by default, uses your Windows system drivers to create printer or plotter

output. When you start printing maps for the first time, you will most likely accept the

defaults. Depending on your driver’s performance however, you may want to add a new

configuration that uses more advanced printing options.

Geosoft provides a special printer setup capability that starts an internal rasterizing engine

that performs most of the print/plot processing and passes it to the driver for final output.
