How do you do, Hrishikesh.

H> Dear friends,
H> I need a suggestion for converting shapefiles into image format (GIF or
H> Jpeg).I am using Erdas for it. I am converting shapefiles into img
H> format (continous image) and convert it into thematic image for giving
H> meaningful color to the classes. Like this I am making images for
H> different themes with different colors. Then I am mosaicking them to
H> create a single image layer with different themes.
H> Now the file size is very big so I want to save it as Jpeg.
H> But I am not able to save the thematic layer in Jpeg direcltly. When I
H> save the img layer as tiff and want to open in adobe-photoshop or
H> paintshop then I get an error message "bit depth could not be read"

H> I think that first I need to convert the thematic layer into continous
H> layer and then only I will get the bit depth.
H> Can you suggest me that how to convert the thematic layer into continous
H> in Erdas.

H> Is there any other method to convert the shapefile directly into Jpeg
H> while maintaining the pixel resolution. I am trying to convert the map
H> of entire USA. Can I do it in single stage or I need to do it part by
H> part.

H> The other method is that open the different layers of shapefile in Erdas
H> viewer and give color. Then save the view as tif which is a continous
H> layer and this can be converted into jpeg. But the problem I am facing
H> is that the Pixel resolution is loosing.

H> Please suggest me a better way of making jpeg file from shape files or
H> coverages.

H> Reagrds,
H> Hrishikesh Prasad
