Folks:<div><br></div><div>I am using a piece of software which is relying on an older version of GDAL that doesn't have the "fix" to deal with > 8 bit geotiffs (it is trying to make a jpeg overlay but can't from a 16 bit image. I think this is the issue: <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/TIFF12BitJPEG">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/TIFF12BitJPEG</a>), but when I do a straight convert (-ot Byte) the output image looks really washed out. Any hints for getting the best quality output from a 16 bit to to an 8 bit conversion of a Geotiff? </div>
