Computing the min value is also requited if you have negative values and could also be useful If you wanted to optimize that method further by utilising the offset parameter (and or the scale, but computing the right combination for an optimize lossless compression could be more expensive).

But for GTiff, what I typically use in a script is to find the maximum value, then use "ceil(log(maxval, 2))" to get the number of bits, e.g.: from math import ceil, log from osgeo import gdal maxval = 17 # for example nbits = ceil(log(maxval, 2)) # 5 drv = gdal.GetDriverByName("GTiff") opts = [f"NBITS={maxval}"] ds = drv.Create(fname, nx, ny, 1, gdal.GDT_Byte, opts) ... similar can be done with rasterio, passing the keyword "rasterio.open(fname, 'w', ..., nbits=nbits)" For the drivers that expect NBITS as a multiple of 2: nbits = 2**ceil(log(nbits, 2)) If nbits is greater than 8, then UInt16 or UInt32 may be required, as supported by the driver. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org<mailto:gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org> https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-d<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.osgeo.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fgdal-dev&data=05%7C01%7CMatt.Wilkie%40yukon.ca%7C530d4395252944fbff3a08da2427e83d%7C98f515313973490abb70195aa264a2bc%7C0%7C0%7C637862051196803406%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Wxzbgz3TEIvRtrCiUvFSGc5CUoGIbeeCC8VXt1wtfuA%3D&reserved=0>e vroom
