I have tried to figure out what is the explanation for what I supposed is something that I am misunderstanding.<br><br>Using Google Earth I zoomed into a small region and captured the image using print screen. I supposed that Google Earth CRS was WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) for that small area (a city). Now, using Google Maps I selected four specific well and easy referenced points into the image to get geographics coordinates (longitude and latitude). In Qgis Raster/Georeferencer/Georeferencer I added those points once I first added the PNG raster file in this plugin considering that CRS was WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). I saved the points in file.png.points file. In Transformation Setting of this plugin I left the default values, but I selected Create world file and changed
the Target SRS to WGS 84 / UTM zone 14N (EPSG:32614). Start georeferencing button produced a world file for PNG image.<br><br>In a new Qgis session I opened PNG file (with world file present) and Qgis asked me what CRS I wanted to define. If I select WGS 84 / UTM zone 14N I can see how coordinates are changing when I move the mouse over the image, but that coordinates are geographics (longitude and latitude). If I select just WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) then I can see UTM coordinates changes when I move the mouse over the image. But ĦI expected the opposite!<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Could someone help me to understand this?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size:
