Frank, I really appreciate your reply. I thought it was but, actually, it is a ".aux.xml" file generated by ArcGIS 9.3.1 during the georeferencing process.
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgiSDEsktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=About_auxiliary_files So, it is impossible to preserve the georeference information- I have to either: rectify the image (save a new geotiff file) and gdal_translate to jp2; or gdal_translate to jp2 and then re-georeference it. Is that right? Thank you again.
