[mapserver-users] geotiff resampling and transparency - artifact problem

[Oliver Christen]

Hello Tomas

as far as I can see the tiff are already in RGBA, from what I can see 
from the gdalinfo (see below)

I tried using OFFSITE, but I couldnt see any difference in the output 
with or without it.

In my opinion something is going wrong in the image treatments when a 
resampling is applied, as if the alpha transparency value for the border 
pixels was not preserved during the processing.
but then that's pure speculation.
