      Hello Ammar,<br>
      <br>
      the default for gdal_translate is no tiling, no compression, and
      don't copy overviews. So your last gdal_translate command
      effectively removes all tiling, overviews and compression. If you
      want to have a tiled and compressed file, add the '-co
      compress=lzw" to your first gdal_translate command, which will
      create a tiled and compressed 'out.tif'. Then add overviews to
      that with gdaladdo. If I'm not mistaken, the overviews use the
      settings from the main dataset, so would also use lzw compression.<br>
      <br>
      Best,<br>

    Correction: that should of course read: "So your last gdal_translate
    command effectively removes all tiling and overviews, while adding
    lzw compression."<br>
