I think one of us is on the wrong track with what is to be achieved.

I don't want to manipulate the image itself, just the background at the
moment when the raster image (or raster pdf) is converted to a TIF and
georeferenced.

if the rectangle contains black text, as described, this would also be
manipulated after the described manipulation, that's not what I want.

Thank you for your efforts.

You can translate pixel values with the raster calculator (available
under the raster menu). Black pixels will have a value of 0,0,0 on RGB
bands and red pixels would have a value of 255,0,0 so it's just a
matter of changing the values accordingly on those bands.

The raster calculator will contain an if expression in the next QGIS
release, but if you're using an existing release you will have to use
a bit of a quirky syntax to achieve that.

So if you select the red band and use an expression similar to (
"Image@1" =  0 )  *  255 it should work. If you need assistance on
raster calculator syntax gis stack overflow has a large number of Q&A
on the topic.

If you need info on a particular pixel value at each band, just use
the identify features tool (it works on rasters too).

Note that the previous statement about the GIS identifying valid data
values from background pixel values still applies to the calculator.

    Thanks for answering, but I think this is not the way I want to go ...

    Or, I do not have written detailed.

    I have a raster image e.g. a white rectangle, after setting the
    points, QGIS rotats this image, let's say, by 45 degrees.

    The corners of the imported image are now black triangles.

    I do want to have e.g. red triangles ...

    There's not really any way for a GIS system to automatically
    differentiate between black background pixels and black data
    pixels. QGIS supports users setting custom pixel values to render
    as transparent pixels, but it's left up to users to ensure that
    their data and background values are different.

    From my view, there are a couple of options when it comes to
    fixing this issue in your data. One is to use an image processing
    tool like GIMP or Photoshop effectively, but that requires
    retaining the geographic information and knowing how to reprocess
    the raster accordingly.

    The simplest solution I'm aware of is probably to follow this
    workflow in QGIS:

      * Start a new QGIS project
      * Set all black pixels to transparent in the transparency tab
        of the raster layer properties
      * Digitize a "bounding area" - you can do this with a memory layer
      * Move your vector layer to render underneath the raster
      * Give the vector a simple black symbology
      * Use the "Convert map to raster" tool from the processing toolbox

    There are a wide number of variations on that workflow that are
    possible of course, but I think that's the easiest to get started.

    Regards

        Hi,

        how to change the backgroundcolor of a georeferenzed raster
        image?

        When a raster image is rotated by qgis after setting all
        points the
        backgroundcolor is black RGB(0,0,0).

        Set black to transparent is difficult when there is black text.

        regards
