Hey JP,
First of all I want you to know that I really appreciate your help. :)
I tried the BMNG image that covers my area of interest and that worked
like a charm. No more black areas.
Now, I only ran the data using a level setting of 10. When I zoom in
on the high res image that I provided, it is not high res at all.
Does the level setting need to be cranked way up in order to be able
to see the details in the high res image? Do I need to specify layer
options for my high res image like you did in your example?
And one more question, what is the purpose of the archive file output
type ( the -a option ) ?
Thanks
Greg
