Abstract
A method for enabling raster image editing software to work with geospatial imagery includes identifying geospatial metadata for an image upon opening of the image, and monitoring all raster image editing operations performed on the image to determine if the geospatial metadata is affected. The geospatial metadata is updated if the geospatial metadata is affected by a raster image editing operation. In another aspect, a computer readable medium contains instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method for enabling raster image editing software to work with geospatial imagery.
