Thanks Chaitanya. Unfortunately gdaladdo doesn't support the Lanczos resampling type. Lanczos creates - by far - the best looking downsampled images for my type of rasters. What I'm looking for is a way to create pyramid layers/.ovr files using the Lanczos resampling method.

Robb,

If you are using gdal version 1.6 or later, you can use the -ro option[1]. It opens the tiff file in read-only mode and creates external overview.

    I'm working with indexed color types of raster data (charts).  The
    data is in RGB geotiffs and I'm using gdaladdo to create pyramid
    layers for them.  Unfortunately, the best method for this raster
    type available using gdaladdo is still pretty bad - much of the
    linework becomes garbled when viewing the pyramids.  The
    best-looking method that I've been able to come up with is:
    gdaladdo.exe --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW DEFLATE -r average

    The Lanczos algorithm method works beautifully when used with
    other programs - but I need to create .ovr files.  gdal_retile.py
    output looks great - but I can't figure out how to create .ovr
    files from that output.

    Does anybody know of the availability of the Lanczos resampling
    method for gdaladdo - or of another way to create .ovr files with
    Lanczos?
