[gdal-dev] Why does gdal_translate rotate and rescale images?

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi List,
I have 2 pesky satellite images in .IMG format that need to be
re-blocked because their tile size is not a multiple of 16 (so img2tiff
cannot handle them).

gdal_translate -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 src.img dst.tif   does work, but it
rotates & rescales my images (and loses the geo-referencing?).

Is this correct?

If this is the wrong list to post this query on, please direct me to the
correct list.
Thanks in advance,
Zoltan
