[Gdal-dev] kakadu 16 bit and lossless

[dburken at comcast.net]

Hi Frank,

Hey it looks like kakadu does not work with a QUALITY=100 or lossless on 16 bit data.

When writing an image with quality < 99.5 image is good.

When writing an image with quality >= 99.5 or "reversible" image is bad.

Garrett was saying he thought he saw this in the kakadu docs.

Not sure if you want to add a check in your writer for non-eight bit with quality >= 99.5 or not.

Now that I know the behavior I will avoid it.

Take care,
Dave
