https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/gtiff.html#georeferencing</a> says about the order in which the georeferencing is searched “By default, information is fetched in following order (first listed is the most prioritary): PAM (Persistent Auxiliary metadata) .aux.xml
sidecar file, INTERNAL (GeoTIFF keys and tags), TABFILE (.tab), WORLDFILE (.tfw, .tifw/.tiffw or .wld).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">However, in this case it seems that GeoTIFF tags are used instead of PAM if not especially asked with --config GDAL_GEOREF_SOURCES PAM<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am also curious to know how the SourceGCP values in this PAM file gets converted into pixel rows and columns. For example these values<o:p></o:p></span></p>

but there the columns and rows appear unscaled in the aux.xml file <a href="https://doc.arcgis.com/en/imagery/workflows/browse-imagery/workflow/workflow-appendices.htm">
