Dear Developers I have two multi-band geotiff files (each about 2 GB in size uncompressed) that I would like to mosaic using gdal_merge.py. These files make up two halves of a single Landsat footprint so when joined should create a single mosaicked image. I checked the corner coordinates and they seem correct. However, when I use the gdal_merge.py command with the -co “COMPRESS=LZW” option, the final file size ends up being a ~100 GB which does not make any sense. Any ideas about what is going on? I checked the image dimensions and they seem to be correct and should result in a file that is about 4.5 GB in size uncompressed so the compressed version should be at least this size if not smaller.
Thank you Mutlu... _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
