Hello,
Any chance webP will be supported in Reefmaster in the future? I did a test with a raster image containing approximately 77 square miles of mostly 1 meter resolution imagery and select areas of 50cm resolution imagery. I converted the raster imagery from .tif to mbtiles then the same raster image from .tif to WebP. After converting the .tif, the size of the converted files were as follows:
tif converted to mbtiles = 18.7GB
tif converted to WebP = 2.8GB

That is a huge difference in the size of the files, yet there is no obvious difference when viewing 50cm resolution imagery. However, the WebP image has what looks like a big black & white NoData border when viewed in Reefmaster. I clipped out the black & white border and tried creating a map with the IMC tool, however IMC became unstable and didn't complete generating the map project to fruition. Sorry, I wasn't able to get a screen shot of the shadow surrounding the webP image.

But...if WebP was to be supported in Reefmaster, does that mean I could triple the coverage (area of extent) of my maps before it caps out around 64GB? (I'm using reformatted 64GB micro-sds to get the most coverage possible). That would really be awesome.

Thanks!

The size of the incoming image data doesn't have any real impact on the final AT5 output size if it's describing the same data.

If I had to guess, it looks look MBTiles uses a lossless data format like PNG where WEBP uses a lossy format like JP2 which would explain the data size difference and the slight difference between the images in noisy areas.
