thx Even for explanation.
Also I see the real important for some software is the presence of this section:
Keyed_Information:
GTRasterTypeGeoKey (Short,1): RasterPixelIsPoint
End_Of_Keys.
It can have two possibl values:
RasterPixelIsPoint or RasterPixelIsArea
Seem that without a value for GTRasterTypeGeoKey some software don't work.
Is possible configure gdal to add this values when converting a
tif+tfw to a geotiff
?
Andrea.
