Actually, I used quite small tiles - not something I normally do. For 1 bit data, larger tiles are better (but then there's more repeatability). In this case I used tiles approx 40x128 and lzw'd it as a stream. Unless I made a mistake, it compresses to around 20M or thereabouts. That was RGB interleaved 16 bit data - no messing about splitting it or anything.
I found that each tile compressed by around 50%+. I presume that was because the LZW code uses 9 or 10 bits for more data and also finds more repeated strings.
Can you repeat your below test with BLOCKXSIZE=40 and BLOCKYSIZE=128?
Hmm, I tried
$ gdal_translate -co "COMPRESS=ZIP" -co "PREDICTOR=2" -co "TILED=YES" -co "BLOCKXSIZE=48" -co "BLOCKYSIZE=128" -co "INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" IMG_2948.Flowers1.tif IMG_2948.Flowers1-zip2-tiled.tif
...and results are
Original 60483984
ZIP, predictor 2, tiled 48269416
ZIP, predictor 2, tiled, separated 49714874
LZW, predictor 2, tiled 63307750
It seems you have encoder which is significally different from the
libtiff one. Or you just made a mistake somewhere.
Best regards,
Andrey
