Thank you Frank,

I think I should have said, how do I get both the real and imaginary numbers out as Float32, since ultimately I do want to calculate magnitude (as you might have guessed). Then I could read the 'real' and 'imaginary' numbers into IDL as 2 separate tiffs do do the calculation. I tried to import the CFloat32 directly into IDL/ENVI but it doesn't like the '64-bit pixel'. Could there be a workaround by modifying tiff tags to say the CFloat32 data are actually 2 separate 32-bit numbers?

Thanks,
Derek

I am new to gdal and it looks very promising ...but I am trying to make a geotiff with four bands from an RSat-2 SLC image but I don't need or want the imaginary part of the CFloat32 for now.

So far I have been able to extract the data and warp it to my favourite projection. Can gdal separate the CFloat32 and save the just real part?

gdal_translate.exe "RADARSAT_2_CALIB:SIGMA0:product.xml" out.tif
gdalwarp -s_srs wgs84.prf -t_srs aeaIS.prf -r bilinear out.tif image.tif

Derek,

gdal_translate "RADARSAT_2_CALIB:SIGMA0:product.xml" -ot Float32 out.tif

should be sufficient to discard the imaginary portion. I'm not aware of any easy way of taking the magnitude of the data which is also often desirable.

Best regards,
