So it seems that either the tile geometry is being ignored and a default of 64x64 is being used or that IM is producing pages smaller than the tile size which I wouldn't expect. Any insight into this? Is there any way to use IM to report the tile size of the pyramid after creation?

I was able to verify using IIP Image server that the tile-geometry parameter is being honored. The fact that additional pages are being created is probably not a big deal since the resolution is so low. It would still be nice to know of a way to report on the tile geometry of a pyramidal tiff though if anyone knows how to do that with ImageMagick tools.

the tile geometry in use can also be discovered using the tiffinfo command
