[mapserver-users] Raster Image Quality

shp2img requires a mapfile... what kind of image outpuformat did you use 
in your mapfile?

Shp2img resamples paletted black and white images  and that does not 
give a great result usually. you could try to output grey scale 8-bit 
images (byte but not paletted). Did you also use pyramid layers or does 
the maptiler program also give you different scales?

When I use MapServer shp2img the quality isn't as good. I looked at the images in IfranView and the MapTiler image has a lot more unique colors
