Hi Doug,

Thanks for the info. I know that JPEG is lossy but our datasets are very large. 
That’s why we use JPEG, which is good enough for our needs and the file sizes 
are smaller.

It seems that GDAL doesn’t create new JPEG files without having pre-existing 
JPEG-s to modify. If I try to modify old JPEG, I get a message “Output dataset 
exists, but cannot be opened in update mode.

I also tried using “CreateCopy” but that produced syntax error. Used command on 
GDAL CMD:
“GDALDriver::CreateCopy ("new.jpg","old.jpg", FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL)”

Kalev,
Just set the output file format to -f  JPEG format   ( .jpg) or  -f JP2OpenJPEG 
(.jp2)

The JPEG format will be lossey by default.  Is that what you want?

Hello,

I used gdalwarp to transform a VRT+JPEG pair from one EPSG projection to
another. Everything worked well. This conversion changed the VRT file so
that reprojection takes place when the images are loaded. However, I would
need to reproject the JPEG so that there would not be a need to reproject
every time the images are loaded. Is it possible somehow?

I used the command:
"gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:2006 -t_srs EPSG:3857 -of VRT -r near old.vrt new.vrt"

Thanks!

Kalev
