Imagery previews are kept at a low resolution to prevent usage without payment. For many imagery use cases the data is being used solely to examine features that are visible at full resolution within the capture. We recommend to download the sample imagery available in our "Product Library".
Having only low resolution previews available can make it difficult to determine the potential data quality for imagery you're looking to purchase. However, our suppliers conform to data quality standards.
If you were to receive an image that you feel does not meet these quoted resolutions and data quality standards we encourage you to reach out to support@skywatch.com to report the issue and allow our team to investigate.
How to View the Previews
1. When archive images are returned from your search in "Explore Existing", you can open the preview by clicking on the image in the right column.
2. You can use the zoom tools to take closer looks at the preview details.
3. In addition, if you are wanting to double check that the archive images you added to your cart do not contain obstructions such as clouds and haze, or that the image you have selected covers your entire polygon. To do this, you can use the ""Preview" tool in the cart.
