[Qgis-user] background transparency

[Brett Adams]

Richard,

 

Thanks for your response.    Gave this a run but it’s not quite working.

 

Looks like the problem stems from the colour being defined across three bands, with black defined by 0,0,0

 



 

 

When “No data = 0” this clears all colours where band 1 = 0.  Which includes a lot more colours than just black.

 

Tried entering a few different formats to cover the all 3 bands but the second  2 are always ignored.

 

Any thoughts as to how I get 3 bands recognised?

 

Brett

Brett, 
Apologies, ive just realised your version of QGIS may not have the processing toolbox.
You may also do this by going to RASTER, Conversion and selecting Translate Its the very same tool just a different interface

Richard

Hi Brett
You can indeed, just use the Processing toolbox, just type Translate into the search box and select the Translate Tool under GDAL.
The values you specified as transparent, can be specified under the Nodata Value
You can also do this as part of a batch if you have a number of files, you wish to do this for.

Hope this helps,

Richard.

Hi Folks,

 

I have a geotiff that contains a black ground in areas where there is no data.  The black background is made transparent within QGIS via “Layer Properties – Transparency”

 

Can I export a new Geotiff with the black background removed?

 

I’m running 2.6.1 On Windows-7.    Yes, I know it’s an old version but I’ve had no reason to update.  So far…

 

Thanks
