[Mapserver-users] 24bit Raster Image

[J. Delfos]

If it says it can't recognize the image format, maybe your TIF uses a
compression that is not supported. There are many sorts of TIF. Perhaps
try to convert your TIF into a different compression, or better:
uncompressed (better from a compatibility point of view). But if space is
an issue, you should consider converting it to ECW format
(www.ermapper.com). That should work without much loss of quality.

Jacob
