Hello everyone, i've found much of the information found here quite
useful, which is why i require of your help for the following (sorry
if my english is somewhat poor):
-I'm trying to read an awfully large image (14402 cols, 9602 rows, 2
bands, floating-point data), stored in tiff format, the problem is:
when i try to read it using the READ_TIFF IDL throws an error saying
it can't allocate memory to make such array... I can easily export the
image to different data types, so feel free to advice a format
migration; i'd be very grateful if you provided me with an efficient
way to achieve this task.

Thank you, Alexander

If you're using 32-bit windows, you may be hitting the 1 GB memory
allocation limit. If you could export your two bands as separate
files, you'd likely avoid this.
