Aerial imagery is best suited for conversion to JPG.
- Aerial images – recommended quality: 75,

To convert aerial photographs into pyramid, you need to follow the steps below:
- Click Browse... and select the folder that holds Earthlight default raster repository [Usually, the default path to raster repository is EarthlightData\Raster Repository directory (when you create the layer in a different place, you will need to move pyramid files manually into default Raster Repository folder]. Type a new, non-existing name in the save dialog if you want to upload a completely new raster layer, or select an existing layer if you need to update an existing dataset.
- Click Add... and select all files from the folder containing your images. (Remember to include geolocation files).
- Check if the files were correctly geolocated.
- Set the output format to JPG.
