<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, bytes. Zowie... I have a TIFF of an air photo for one of our other municipalities (also 6-inch resolution), which is 20 GB (uncompress). That coverage is only ~40 square miles. So, for a single ~800 square mile county also at
6-inch resolution I'd potentially be looking at 400 GB for the uncompressed source or... somewhere on the order of ~800 GB tiled? Does that sound right?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Do you mean how many bytes?<br>
<br>
Looking at my Landsat tile pyramids (levels 4 to 12), they're about the same number of bytes (hmm, I expected them to be double...)<br>
<br>
But my source images:<br>
- no compression on existing files (tiffs, e.g not jpeg)<br>
- 3 band (color) imagery<br>
<br>
The resulting tiles:<br>
- compressed PNGs<br>
- four bands (one alpha channel for transparency)<br>
<br>
So my guess is somewhere between "same size" to "double the number of bytes" (unless the source imagery is compressed, then it will be 5 to 10 times larger)<br>
