But I need another piece of advice.
Using alpha transparency, with the 4 bands, I cannot use PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR, and I used PHOTOMETRIC=RGB.
This way the compression is a little less effective.

Is there anything comparable, in terms of compression effectiveness, when using alpha transparency and JPEG compression?
Should I change the type of compression?

require to create a mask band from the 4th band of the input by changing -b 4 to -mask 4, removing -co ALPHA=YES, and then you can ask YCbCr

gdal_translate -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 -mask 4 -co BIGTIFF=YES -co COMPRESS=JPEG -co PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR -co JPEG_QUALITY=75 -co TILED=YES -co NUM_THREADS=ALL_CPUS warp.vrt output.tif

Note: if you use the COG driver it will do that automatically for you:

gdal_translate -of COG -co BIGTIFF=YES -co COMPRESS=JPEG -co NUM_THREADS=ALL_CPUS warp.vrt output.tif


Thank you,

Andrea
