In the past I've received 2 file MRSID files, 1 RGB and 1 Color Infrared, this time got a 1 MRSID file with all 4 Bands. I can RasterSelector then RasterBandRemover and get the RGB, this takes a little longer as I need to pass it thru transformer.

 

Question

Can I read a MRSID and only select the RGB Bands and not read the Color Infrared (Apha) as if I don't need it why read it (would this speed up the Workspace processing)?

 

MRSID_01MRSID_02

I would suggest instead that you use the RasterSelector for bands 0;1;2 and a RasterBandKeeper. That way the workspace won't fail if you send it a 3 band image, or a mix of 3 and 4 band images.

 

As long as feature caching is not enabled, this should have minimal impact on your workspace performance.

Thank-you, instantly runs faster


Am I confused or is this thread saying that FME can remove the 4th band and make the .sid file into a 3-band one?  I though .sid was a read only format in FME?  I run into this problem with having 4 or 5 band sid files but I need them to only be 3-band files so AutoCAD can read them.


Hello ​@keith.addison, sorry for any potential confusion, FME Form does not currently support writing MrSID datasets, only reading. Interestingly, there does not appear to be an existing FME Idea for MrSID writer support. I highly encourage you to post an idea with your use case and link it here for other users to find! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help, Kailin.
