[Mapserver-users] Mr. SID to GeoTIFF

[Ed McNierney]

It sounds like you're using the "native" TIFF support rather than GDAL's
more comprehensive support.  Run "mapserv -v" at the command line and
make sure you have GDAL input support and do NOT have TIFF input
support.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Mr. SID to GeoTIFF

I have aerial imagery in Mr. SID format and I use a LizardTech utility
to convert the sid image to a geo tiff.  I can view the resulting tiff
in an image viewer, however, when I load it in MapServer (via PHP), I
get the following error:

[MapServer Error]: drawTIFF(): Only colormapped and grayscale images are
supported.

More info:
- The tiff is color.
