<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Yes, last week I had problems with bi-tonal TIFF’s. I had a reply from a member of the list instructing me to use Irfanview and convert the TIFF’s the PNG’s. It took a little work but yes, it did work. I do now have transparent images in MapGuide. There were a few steps in Irfanview that I’m not remembering. If you have problems, repost and I’ll try to step through the process again.<BR>

Others have mentioned this on this board as well. There was a post in the last week or so about this and they solved it by converting their imagery to transparent PNG’s. Search the group for “transparency” or “transparent” and see what you come up with.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:13.0px'>I'm trying to set up a map that contains GeoTIFF Images. Those images are the result of a re-projection from WGS84 to some projected system. That's why they have some "Nodata" strips on the edges (color info is paletted).<BR>
