I would like to export my map as a GeoTIFF in QGIS. My workflow is as follows: Project - Import/export - export map to imageā¦
I have two questions about this: instead of saving the image as a GeoTIFF, QGIS saves it as a normal TIFF file and a world-file. How can I export it as a single GeoTIFF?
Also, when I re-import the image into QGIS, it returns the error message that the coordinate system is not defined. How can I export the image correctly with the coordinate system, which I had put for the map?
gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs epsg:xxxx input.tif output_geo.tif
where xxxx in epsg:xxxx is the projection code that you probably know. Or use gdal_edit.py and attach the coordinate system in place without creating a copy of the image. – user30184 Sep 10 '18 at 20:40
