I am trying to read a GeoTIFF that has LERC compression.

I created a workbench in FME 2021 that read and mosaiced some GeoTIFFs with LERC compression and wrote them to GeoTIFFs with LZW compression. I was able to do that successfully.

However I'm trying to do the same thing now in FME Workbench 2023.0 with the same files and I'm getting the following errors:

How do I configure compression support?

Hi @rclarkenz​ unfortunately this sounds like a bug. Could you submit a support case with us with your log file and workspace(s) 2021 vs 2023 and we can take an in depth investigation. Thanks!
