[gdal-dev] GDALGetProjectionRef(...) problem on filetype JPEG and BMP

[Daniele Romagnoli]

Hi Alex,
How your TIF and BMP files are generated?
Are you writing them by yourself from an input image?
In that case, make sure to create a samenamefile.jpg.aux.xml file containing
a <PAMDataset> tag with the <SRS> definition on it.
Try using gdal_translate -of JPEG mytiff.tif myjpeg.jpg to see how that
aux.xml should be formed.

Regards,
Daniele
