Hi,

I have some geotiffs that are grayscale with an alpha band (Luminance + Alpha). MapServer seems to be able to read and understand the transparency fine, but I'm having trouble figuring out if it is possible to produce a gray+alpha PNG version of these by configuring OUTPUTFORMAT. My end goal is to reduce the size of the images cached by MapCache by having my MapServer WMS produce gray+alpha PNGs.

Does the builtin AGG/PNG driver in MapServer support this format? Like I said, I couldn't figure it out based on the documentation. Assuming GDAL/PNG can do it, does anyone have an idea on the performance penalty? The MapServer documentation mentions that AGG/PNG is generally more efficient.

Thanks for any info. I'll keep playing around.

Dave
