If that's the case I'd suggest using free software like QGIS (there are many, many more though), which I'm sure has a similar image georeferencing option, and from there you can export it to a .tif or a .shp file (I don't know about .tab files). <br /><br />Another non-free but still fairly inexpensive option would be Global Mapper, which I love because it lets you import from and export to a great number of formats, including .tab files.<br /><br />Have you tried any of these?Miguel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135303456230361686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260170608317887597.post-8175217021131569022012-07-19T05:19:43.659+02:002012-07-19T05:19:43.659+02:00Very funny and indeed a good comic ideas to share ...Very funny and indeed a good comic ideas to share with my friend.

If the research has relevance mainly on a broader topic e.g. metamorphic geology it would be reasonable to go into one focused on this.<br /><br />Free journals are fine but at this stage they really only lend themselves to very generalist aspects.

The YTT had experienced strong deformation and metamorphism by Late Triassic time.<br />By mid-Cretaceous the metamorphic complex and Late Triassic clastic rocks derived from it were imbricated with middle and upper Paleozoic ophiolitic sheets.<br />The YTT differs markedly from adjacent parts of the North American continental margin in both its depositional and tectonic histories. The composition and tectonic history of the YTT is comparable to that of the Kootenay and Barkerville terranes of southern and central British Columbia from which the YTT may have been displaced. Bounding the YTT on the southwest and northeast are the dextral-slip Denali and Tintina faults. The displacements at these faults are around 450km. The North East trending ShawCreek fault of our picture is perpendicular to these faults.<br /><br />http://www.eos.ubc.ca/~nchriste/PDF/101-1992%20Beaudoin%20et%20al%20JGR.pdfFelix Bosserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964674651331212440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260170608317887597.post-28763671615007023592012-03-09T17:22:22.051+01:002012-03-09T17:22:22.051+01:00Terrific, now I forgot to post a real, clickable l...Terrific, now I forgot to post a real, clickable link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.effjot.net/img/WoGE334.jpg" rel="nofollow">WoGE 334 full-size</a>fjhttp://blog.effjot.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260170608317887597.post-18703600845246098322012-03-09T17:19:43.354+01:002012-03-09T17:19:43.354+01:00The full-size image is available on http://www.eff...The full-size image is available on http://www.effjot.net/img/WoGE334.jpg<br /><br />OpenID issues: Blogger and Blogspot, i.e. Google, continuously mess up the possiblity to post comments using OpenID (you'll get stuck in an infinite Captcha loop), forcing you to use a Google account or Name&URL.
