Hi folks,
We are using a GDAL trunk snapshot from February 2011 (so 1.9dev ?) on a 
Windows 7 environment.  We have a Kakadu JPEG-2000 license and can successfully 
make NITF files with JPEG-2000 compression.  The compression appears to be the 
default QUALITY=20 because the files are consistently reduced in size by 80% 
with high quality.

But is it possible to make *lossless* JP2KAK within NITF ?   Using the GeoJP2 
driver, we can do lossless using the QUALITY=100 creation option, but the same 
option on the NITF attempt is ignored, resulting in the same 
80%-reduction-with-high-quality version.  I'm guessing this is due to the 
driver-within-driver issue (JP2KAK within NITF) so the NITF driver doesn't know 
what to do with the QUALITY=100 request.

Is there any 'gdal_translate' syntax that will currently achieve the 
NITF-with-JP2KAK-lossless goal ?
