Orthophoto & DSM: Restore Missing Export Formats and Processing Tools

Description: The new Flex version currently lacks several essential Orthophoto and DSM capabilities that were standard in previous versions. These are critical for GIS and CAD interoperability.

Missing Capabilities:

  • Orthophoto Exports: Restore support for JPEG and KML formats (essential for lightweight sharing and Google Earth integration).

  • Image Enhancement: Re-enable the Image Sharpening tool for Orthophotos to ensure visual clarity.

  • DSM Exports: Restore the ability to export DSMs in XYZ format (critical for specialized surveying and volume analysis software).

Benefit: Ensures that users can deliver industry-standard formats to clients without needing third-party conversion tools.

    And add ECW format. I always convert to ECW but it is extra step. ECW is no longer patented. Octave now is split from Hexagon so maybe there will be better licencing options.
