I'm using Geoserver in conjunction with the google maps API to add a raster layer onto a map. It loads fine, however there's some strange problem with opacity at the edge of the layer where you can see a boundary. Have you any idea how to fix this?

I'm totally new to gis and to Geoserver so sorry if this is an obvious question!

Thanks.

I should add that when I load the image into qgis or udig it looks fine. – beacon_bonanza Jan 30 at 9:59
It looks like a reprojection artefact. Is the raster being reprojected by GeoServer on the fly to produce the above image? If so, that might explain why it looks OK in QGIS where, perhaps, you are looking at it in its native projection. – MappaGnosis Jan 31 at 9:43
I'm not too sure if it's being reprojected or not. Is there any way to change how it's projected in this case? – beacon_bonanza Jan 31 at 11:33

Match the projection of the raster (using Warp tool in QGIS) to whatever the projection is in your map above. – MappaGnosis Jan 31 at 12:17
Thanks @MappaGnosis, that did the trick. I didn't think the projection would have been the problem because it looked ok apart from that boundary, but that's just part of being a n00b! If you write up an answer I'll accept it. – beacon_bonanza Jan 31 at 14:02
