USGS LandsatLook Viewer

The USGS LandsatLook Viewer allows comprehensive searching and downloading of full-resolution LandsatLook images, along with access to Level 1 Data Products.

LandsatLook images are full resolution .jpeg files derived from Landsat Level 1 data products, these images are useful for image selection and for visual interpretation. Algorithms applied to the images will cause minor local smoothing to the data values of the images, and while this should not affect interpretation of the images, it is not recommended that they be used in digital analysis.
