Hello list,

I am new to GDAL and I have been using the utilities to process and prepare TIFF to create a mosaic in Geoserver. I am expermineting with different compression methods and I have noticed that after compressing a file with LZW, the previously created tiles and overviews disappear!
 what I did was:

gdal_translate -a_srs "EPSG:3011" -co "TILED=YES" -co "BLOCKXSIZE=512" -co "BLOCKYSIZE=512" in.tif out.tif

gdaladdo -r average file.tif 2 4 8 16 32//Adding the overviews

gdal_translate -co compress=LZW in.tif out.tif

After the compression, I got the original block size and with no overviews!

Any ideas, thoughts or tips will be appreciated.

Hello Ammar,

the default for gdal_translate is no tiling, no compression, and don't copy overviews. So your last gdal_translate command effectively removes all tiling, overviews and compression. If you want to have a tiled and compressed file, add the '-co compress=lzw" to your first gdal_translate command, which will create a tiled and compressed 'out.tif'. Then add overviews to that with gdaladdo. If I'm not mistaken, the overviews use the settings from the main dataset, so would also use lzw compression.

Best,
Vincent Schut.
