Georeferencing in QGIS: retrieve previously georeferenced tiff and points used

Question

I having a problem going back to a tiff I georeferenced myself then closed to improve the georeference work.

I did it manually by adding points on the map and linking them to an already georeferenced vector. Now, when I first open my tiff (name.tif) in the georeferencer then upload the point file (name.points), the tiff and the points do not match together in the georeferencer while it works perfectly fine on my vector with all the points fitting at the right place in the QGIS window.

Answer 1

I finally got the hang of it: I had simply save my layer as a geotiff. Thanks for trying to help!

I am using QGIS 3.0 on mac. To save as a geotiff in the QGIS window: right click on your georeferenced raster layer > save as > enter the information and the file format you wish to save your layer (in that case, a geotiff). I also save the points in the georeferencer window by creating a .points file.
