Hello, In the past I prepared my air photos for MapServer by converting them into GeoTiff and creating compressed jpeg overviews. I would like to double check if this is still a recommended method to prepare air photos that are fast, have a decent amount of quality, and are not terribly large. If anyone has any comments on how I should prepare air photos for MapServer and possibly ArcGIS or QGIS let me know.
Here is what I used in the past, which seems to work good: gdal_translate -CO TILED=YES -CO PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR -CO TFW=YES -CO COMPRESS=JPEG -CO BIGTIFF=YES MNPIPE13-SID-9INCH.sid Pipe13.tif gdaladdo -r cubic --config compress_overview JPEG --config photometric_overview YCBCR Pipe2013.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 I will be provided an ECW file, Mr Sid file, and I will be given the choice of getting either 775 individual jpg or tiff tiles. Thanks for any advice. Mark Volz
