[mapserver-users] geotiff resampling and transparency - artifact problem

[thomas bonfort]

Hi Oliver,

Are you using mapserver's OFFSITE parameter, and/or do your tiff files have
a nodata pixel set ?
What happens if you convert your tiff to 32bit RGBA? (Not suggesting this
is a valid workaround, just trying to narrow down the reasons for this).
