Opening GeoRasters from the Attribute Manager

A table in Postgres can contain a large number of records of geospatial data. Images stored in Postgres are called GeoRasters. Since opening a large number of GeoRasters can take a significant amount of time, it may be more efficient for you to open only their footprints. A footprint is a vector representation of the spatial extents of the GeoRaster. By viewing the footprints, you can make a more informed decision on which GeoRasters to open and, therefore, save you some time.

GeoRasters are represented by a camera icon in the Attribute Manager. If a red cross appears on the camera icon, it means that the GeoRaster is not available.
