[Qgis-user] opening .sid files in QGIS

[Garth Fletcher]

I have routinely opened .SID color orthophoto files for several years 
with QGIS running on a Mac.
Currently using QGIS 3.30 under Mac OS X 10.13; I started using QGIS 
back in the 2.14 days, ~2016.

I have a vague recollection of having to load a MrSID SDK, perhaps 4 or 
5 years ago.
Perhaps that installation has been persistent since I haven't had to do 
anything MrSID related since as I updated QGIS.
If indeed a MrSID is needed, it can be found at
