View MrSID images on your personal computer Save view as TIFF with TFW for import into other applications
While browsing the topography I mentioned a couple of entries ago, I discovered the EPS files they supply are not too useful, but they also offered a SID format file. Turns out there’s a free viewer, runs on all the popular architectures, and it’s pretty interesting. You get full color images to pan, zoom, and otherwise inspect, and the viewer exports to many of the popular file formats.
Here’s a sample image.
Might be worth looking into what other maps they have. Like I need more reasons to stare at a map . . . .
According filext.com, there are two filetypes that use .SID as their identifying extension:
.SID Commodore64 Music File [Player] MIME type: audio/prs.sid
