[GRASSLIST:1778] Re: i.ortho.photo on osx

[Ian Macmillan]

Markus, thanks for the response.  I do have a dem which covers the entire
photo area.  It is a little larger in fact, is that a problem?  Should I crop it
so that it is the same size as the photo in area?  The dem is at 10m
resolution, just like I want the projected orthophoto to be.  I made the DEM
with s.surf.rst from a 30m dem, doesn't seem like that should make any
difference from a "normal" dem.  In any case the elevation range is only ~540
meters.  Is this too much?  What is the biggest elevation range that you have
gotten to work?  

The r.univar report for the dem is here:
Number of cells: 432276
Minimum: 579.7407226562
Maximum: 1119.2756347656
Range:  539.535
Arithmetic mean:  775.406
Variance:  17639.4
Standard deviation: 132.813
Variation coefficient: 17.1282 %


Thanks a bunch, ian
