Hi,

Here are some example commands which suit well for preparing aerial photos for 
Mapserver.  Recipe looks about the same as in the presentation 
http://demo.geo-solutions.it/share/foss4g2011/gs_steroids_sgiannec_foss4g2011.pdf


Uncompressed tiff with uncompressed overviews. Overviews (or pyramid layers) 
which mean speed in far zoom situation and +30% bigger file size

gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs epsg:3067 -co tiled=yes  input.png output.tif
gdaladdo -r average    output.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64
Use your own projection code as a_srs parameter. A_srs stands for "assign 
spatial reference system"

By using JPEG compression inside tiff the file size gets 90% or even 95% 
smaller.
gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs epsg:3067 -co tiled=yes  -co compress=jpeg -co 
photometric=YCBCR input.png output.tif
gdaladdo -r average  --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG --config 
PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR  output.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64

For raster maps -co compress=deflate is better alternative because it does not 
smudge the texts. There are more to read about using gdal_translate and 
gdaladdo in the internet. I would start from the GDAL utility program pages.

Sounds good I'll convert to GeoTiff...is it okay for me to use EPSG:32662 with 
invalid bounds with Geoserver?
Or, are you aware of what could be going wrong with EPSG:404000 support?

These files are not geospatially enabled though.

Geospatial or not, at some point they will have to be uncompressed, a 100MB PNG 
file will become 10 times bigger in memory,
there is no surprise you have problems.
If you want to use large rasters you have to swith to TIFF (not necessarily 
georeferenced)

Cheers
Andrea
