Welcome to TerraLook Help. Please choose from a topic below.

But first, you may want to know what a Collection is: a group of images on a particular theme-- or even just a single image--in a simple jpeg format. This TerraLook desktop software provides quick access to collections.

You can create your own Collection at http://terralook.cr.usgs.gov. It is easy, and free.
