...and would be so nice having a GUI in QGIS for gdal_rasterize and the rest of
gdal utilities!

You could create a polygon in qgis (or some automated way), find an unused pixel value in the chart, and then use gdal_rasterize -i to burn it into the collar area. You can then use that as the transparency value.

    The charts are NOAA BSB rasters.

    Posted the same questions to the grass list and the response was
    positive:

    Standalone gdal will not do it, especially if you want to automate
    the process
    and have concerns with the osmerander bug which in a marine charting
    environment could be rather interesting. The charts will in fact
    be tiled and
    made available via mapserver wms.

    The only issue for me is that I must learn each step with each
    application.
    Hence I went the easy route first to see what can be done with qgis.

    There is a very good new program out for creating tiles,
    maptiler.org <http://maptiler.org> and need
    to see and learn if the datum and projection can be changed. Its
    basically a
    front end to galtiler.

    Thanks for all the suggestions.
