Of course I can build pyramids for that purpose. But in the scale ranges from 1:1 to 1:25.000 I need maximum resolution and detail. In this scale range, the performance is sufficient even without pyramids. > Ideal would be that the pyramids respectively the reduction of the resolution with improvement of performance is only applied to scales smaller than 1:25,000.

There are check boxes for overview levels in the Build overviews panel. Level 2 means double the original pizel size etc. Leave for example levels 2 and 4 unchecked. However, level 2 means 25% extra disk space but level 4 only 6.25%. Thus it may not make sense to skip other levels than 2. Remember to compress also the overviews and test with external overviews which you can easily delete and continue with new tests. Internal overviews can be removed so that they are no more used but operation does not make image files smaller. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
