[gdal-dev] Problem with BIL files and GDAL

[Daniele Romagnoli]

Hi,
Since we are here, you could re-run gdalinfo -stats on your dataset. (Maybe
you see a black image due to a dynamic concentrated on low values).
Moreover you may consider using the "-scale" option on gdal_translate to
scale your values to byte or make sure to preserve the output type with the
option "-OT UInt16".
Honestly, I don't remember if PNG support 16 bits (But would say "yes") and
if the tool/browser/what else you will use to open it will show you
correctly.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Daniele
