[Qgis-user] Opening GEOTIFF file in QGIS support request

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi Gino,
Just to echo what Richard Duienvoorde said, QGIS should handle GeoTIFF perfectly fine. I use the format myself when working with raster's in QGIS.
First question's I would ask would be:

1)Are you getting any error messages when you load the Raster? What are they??
2)Is the Raster appearing in the Layer Panel?
3)Have you tried Dragging and dropping the Raster onto the Map Canvas?
4) As have a look at the Layer Properties, under Information. Look to see the rasters CRS, if its correct. Sometimes, the CRS isn't imbedded, resulting in it being displayed incorrectly.

If you, as Richard said could share any information about the raster with us, we could be of more help. As it is we have little to go on.
Kind Regards,

Richard
