[Qgis-user] Georeferenced raster images

[Patrick Dunford]

I do this using Gimp to create new composite tiles based on existing 
georeferenced contemporary aerial photo map tiles.

I believe there is a georeferencing plugin available but I was unable to 
achieve what I needed with it because it didn't appear to be capable of 
matching up the coordinates.
