I think this recipe should not be lost. Ho about adding it to the manual, 
probably
with an "Advanced" flag?

this shouldn't be difficult to add.
All the best.

Hi,

Don't let QGIS to do the warping but just push the button and create the
GDAL commands. Then you can edit the gdal_translate command and have total
control over all the features it supports http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html.
You may be able to set -dstnodata to some value that does not exist in your
data, for example "0 0 255" for total blue. Or then you can add alpha
channel with -dstalpha.

Unfortunately you can't edit the command and run it as edited directly from
the georeferencer but you must run it in a separete GDAL command window.

I had the same issue, but with a mosaic image, and edited the source
rasters with Gimp to make black pixels slightly lighter. Not noticeable in
the image but enough to not be transparent.

Dear Andreas,

try Raster | Extraction | Clipper with a mask layer and alpha band.

I tried with the option "use 0 for transparency if necessary" - which

that I have a lot of tiny transparent pixels in the map, next to the

Thank you for any ideas.

[Qgis-user] QGIS Georeferencer and Transparency

2014-01-07 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi,

Some of my maps I georeference are rotated approx. 45 degrees because
they did not point to the north before georeferencing. This is desired -
however - the resulting file has a huge black background as a result of
the rotation.

I tried with the option "use 0 for transparency if necessary" - which
helped - but the map already contains black pixels and the result is
that I have a lot of tiny transparent pixels in the map, next to the
transparent background I wanted. Is there a way to set this transparency
to a custom RGB value that I know it is not yet used within the map?

Thank you for any ideas.

Andreas
