<p class=MsoNormal>Is there any way to remove the speckling in ecw files in
no-data areas and re-output to ecw? There doesn’t seem to be a compression
scheme for ecw that doesn’t produce these artifacts. I have tried
the nearblack utility, but it doesn’t seem to be able to create or
re-write to an ecw file.<o:p></o:p></p>
