[gdal-dev] gdal_translate give upside down result for Geotiff

[theuns]

Hi
I have scanned in maps, that needs to be georeferenced.
I usually did the georeferencing in ArcMap. I would like to move a away
from propriety software to do this.

I used gdal_translate to georeference the supplied tif file. The result
is "upside down".
So i went back ArcMap, load the original un-georeferenced tif file and
it is displayed correctly. I then loaded the gdal_translate produced
georeferenced file, and it display "upside down".

What am i missing?

When generating a preview of the gdal_translated georeferenced tiff file
in the windows explorer it displays correctly.
Maybe this suggest that some tag or flag in the gdal_translate produced
file is not set?
I get the same result with the FWTools 1.3.5(very old) and FWTools
2.4.7 

Here is the gdal_translate command i used.
gdal_translate -a_ullr 28.4696526275608 4.96918660287081 30.029965644484

\wt250cd_sb35-8_0528_kalemie_2005_referenced.tif
