comment How to determine aerosol model value for i.atcorr in GRASS?
Not really. I picked this as answer because it is an easy (and free) way to get data. The problem is I can't use them because they didn't exactly match the time/location of my data-set. I've decided to abandon my search (for now) and opted for the simpler DOS1 method.. Sorry that I can't be much of a help..

comment Why Do Colors Look Darker When Printed on Paper?
Well explained! I really like the standard color palette idea. But I'm using GIMP a lot: all of those median/gaussian blur filters will definitely alter any color I originally pre-set.. The ever-changing color-palette makes it a moving-target. Any idea on how to do this?

comment How to determine aerosol model value for i.atcorr in GRASS?
Hey, I was wondering where to get the MODIS AOD data (it's not available on their site).. I'll take a look at this site thoroughly later; so far the data I can see there is in the same form as the TOMS data - Aerosol Index (man, NASA websites sure are complicated to browse through - I got a headache just by looking at it).. Anyway, thank you so much @Tobi :)!

This is nice! If only the data isn't so random.. The data is user-submitted, right?

comment How to determine aerosol model value for i.atcorr in GRASS?
I see, that's one way to do it.. But I've decided to pursuit this route of atmospheric correction at other time and have opted (for now) the simplified DOS1 method. Thanks for the clarification of the TOMS Earth Probe data: it is indeed an index and unit-less - not quite like the AOD data required by the 6S algorithm.. But I have yet to find free AOD data readily usable for the period of Landsat I'm using (<2004). But with further reading here, the data could still be processed further to develop the model. Maybe.

comment Is there an easy way to taper huge amounts of drainage vectors?
I need to verify something; did I do step #3 right?: (sqrt(proximity))*(exp(distance/-bandwith))

comment Recoloring geotiff for visual presentation
I usually have to preprocess GeoTIFFs with gdal_translate or the other GDAL tools - and preserve the geo-tags with libgeotiff - before passing it to GIMP. I heard Photoshop is better suited than GIMP for this kind of purpose, so I guess that'll be your best bet. If all fails - you can always bite the bullet and use a more full-fledged GIS software like GRASS, QGIS, SAGA, etc.. Wish you all the best ;)

It loads? Can you go on doing what you want while ignoring the error? I haven't seen that kind of error when handling GeoTIFFs in GIMP before (but I have no experience with RapidEye images).. GIMP to my experience is still rough on the edges when it comes to handling GeoTIFFs

comment Adding shapefiles to PostGIS database
shp2pgsql on PostGIS 1.5 should theoretically work the same, but I haven't personally tried using PostgreSQL and PostGIS from the OpenGeo Suite - so I really can't pin-point what went wrong, sorry.. Maybe someone with better experience in using OpenGeo Suite can give you a better assistance..

comment Adding shapefiles to PostGIS database
I'm sorry - are you sure you have PostgreSQL and PostGIS installed correctly? Which versions are you using, and which documentations did you used as guides when installing them?

comment Adding shapefiles to PostGIS database
That's weird. Because your error NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "-c_gid_seq" for serial column "-c.gid" tells us that it chose -c as the name of the table instead of Pima.. Can you try: shp2pgsql -s 4326 -p /var/www/geo/shapefile/PimaPine.shp public.Pima | psql -h localhost -d geospecies -U smaranh, and then shp2pgsql -s 4326 -a /var/www/geo/shapefile/PimaPine.shp public.Pima | psql -h localhost -d geospecies -U smaranh? This basically prepares the table first, and then populate the data into that table. Do share the output :)
