Open source package for reading BigTIFF format

I need a free program or library for cropping a huge Geo TIFF file. It is in BigTIFF format. libtiff doesn't support the format.

Linux or Windows OS.

Solution

  • Use GDAL's gdal_translate:

    gdal_translate -projwin $x1 $y1 $x2 $y2 $infile.tif $outfile.tif

    In the package gdal-bin under Debian Linux (squeeze or higher).
