AW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] raster data looks washed out

Hi Scott,

If the original photo is of 24 bit color you must use png24 or jpeg for the
output with mapserver. That's what I often forget.

Betreff: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] raster data looks washed out

Hi,

I am trying to serve up a raster dataset in mapserver. The raster dataset is
an aerial orthophoto. When I view this dataset in any program other than
mapserver  (Imagine, ArcGIS and even FWTools1.0.6 OpenEV_FW program) the
dataset looks fine. However, when I serve the dataset up through mapserver
as a wms request, the returned image looks washed out. The colors do not
seem to be quite right. Also, it seems like the resolution isn't as great
but then this could simply be because of the washed out colors. Does anyone
know what may be going on here?

I am not sure the current mapserver version I am using but it is not that
recent.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Scott
