What do you guys use to view the big (80 meg) files that come as .tif.gz from Earth Explorer? It won't just find the right program on my computer, so I was hoping that someone here knew.
Thanks

If your target application can't handle the compressed files directly, you'lll need to unzip them. The .gz extension indicates a gzip compressed file; there are plenty of utilities that can open gzips; see the gzip website for a no-cost Windows version.
Take a look at Global Mapper. It also has georeferencing functions and the ability to modify image transparency.
